Cat question

Recommended Posts

So my cat is about 7 months old, she’s a tuxedo, and she loves me. She might be in love with me. I don’t have experience with a cat that wants to literally put her lips on my lips. She licks my nose, lips, and ears and even nibbles on my ears. Is this normal? She is my sixth cat (as in, in my life; she’s my only current cat), and this is behavior I’ve never seen. Do y’all’s cats do this?

That is a form of grooming. Two cats that are friends will clean each others faces so cleaning their favorite hooman is the same thing. 

I think tuxies are particularly into grooming their hoomans because Potato Bug likes to pull on the hair on the top of my head which I've never had a cat do. She hasn't gone full face licking yet but she does get extra affectionate in the early morning when she wants to be snuggly right in my face.

What you have is a cat that would be your best pal for life.  It's normal for some cats to show this behavior, especially when you take them in as small kittens.
