is a lick from your cat.....

[paisleyII]

a kiss? she just licked me and not because she was hungry as had just eaten (about 4 minutes beforehand), just wondering. ta

With mine it usually means 'excuse me, you are stroking the exact spot I need to wash RIGHT now, having reached "left shoulder" on my exhaustive schedule of daily grooming'.

I think sometimes it's a bit of an affection thing though. They do it to each other, after all. Usually shortly before one tries to bite the other's bottom - neither of them has ever tried this with me.

Mine kiss and bunt our faces in affection, great if not straight after wet food.

Mine licks the most when we get back from the gym/running/whatever exercise.

It's also a sign of affection, Bun and Kitty occasionally groom each other a bit like this...
