#12. Licking

Although cats have rough tongues, licking you is one of their more intimate actions. If they take your hand and lick it, they’re trying to form a social bond with you. Alternatively, it could mean something else.

Licking you may also mean they’re marking their territory. They’re trying to tell other animals, cats especially, that you belong to them! Licking could also mean they just want to capture your attention.
