He just loves you, what is so wrong with that?
I would try bathing in vinegar, and see if that works. The cat loves you, and you should love it back. Try licking him and see if he hates that.
If it’s a guy, sleep with it and it will avoid you after.
put on lotion, the human skin is salty so animals like to lick us. Maybe if you put something on that doesnt taste so good he will stop.
This is very sad.
I agree with the person who answered first.
It just loves you, it probly looks to you as a mother figure!
Maybe, you should give it to a home with a… child.
Children love "kitty kisses".
according to my little cousin; 5 years old.
It deserves a better home.
yeah….what’s the big deal? But if you really want to make it stop….you can growl…..say no….use a spray bottle everytime…..or if you want to spray yourself with some stuff called bitter apple you can….it’s at the pet store and they hate the taste…..lol
whatever…it works for me when i don’t want them to do something and i have 5 cats!
Hey I understand what you mean. Overly licky cats are a bit of a pain as their tongues are rough and you can’t even sit with them without them tearing your arm apart. My grandmothers cat is really bad, at night he will pin you down and lick your face till its red and sore.
It is hard to know how to break the habit though because he is doing it from affection and you don’t want to scold him for being affectionate.
I’m too have tried to find out how to stop it and haven’t had much luck. Some people say its due to the fact that they like the saltiness of skin and if you wear lotion as that takes away the saltiness. I’ve heard some people that stop petting a cat as soon as it starts licking and eventually the cat learns if it wants to snuggle, it can’t lick. If you want to really get into this you could but cayenne pepper spray or Tabasco sauce somewhere where he licks. Cat’s HATE hot things like that and after a time or two won’t try again.
That’s the best I can do I’m afraid. He might grow out of it as he’s still a kitten but my grandmothers cat is over 5 and will still start licking you even before he’s settled on you knee but he’s also crazily stubborn.
Good luck!!
