What does it mean when my cat licks me?

+2 votes

My cat is very affectionate and purrs and snuggles close to me when he gets a chance. Every so often he licks me on my fingers. Is he kissing me or just cleaning fingers that he thinks are dirty?

Cats are social animals. Licking is a way of exchanging grooming and sharing scents with other pets or people they like. It can also mean that your cat finds the salt flavor on your body very tasty.
