If Your Cat Likes Doing This To You, You Should Feel Honored

#14. Biting Then Licking

Why do some cats bite their owners but end up licking them afterwards? Both licking and biting are tied to grooming behaviour, but biting is also their way of communicating. If your cat bites and then licks you, they’re treating you the way they would other cats.

They could be telling you they’re getting overwhelmed and need a break from cuddling or playing. Therefore, it’s really important to recognise your cat’s body language to determine whether it’s time to give them a break.
