Cat like to lick my underarms, Why?
When my male cat was just a kitten, I notice that when he got on my bed and I was laying near my arms behind my head, he would come up to me sniffing, and then would start licking my underarms. And he still does this presently! Why? Is this normal?
If you use deoderant you shouldn't let him do it, toxic stuff. If not, no big deal. He loves you and he's grooming you. Hint. Hint. ;-)
we carry adjectives of our distinctive odour under our arms. and from a kitten your cat liked it and licked it!
so perhaps keep your arms down when the cat is around and maybe wipe the sweat from your underarms onto a hand towel that you sacrifice for the cat to lay on near your scent in the cloth it might deter the cat from licking the source of the nice smell. when the cloth gets dirty, wash and rub underneath your arms again
Answers: I also like to lick underarms.
Your smell is one reason. It could be a form of 'nursing', since he has done this since he be a kitten.
The only think I would be concerned about is any moved out over deodorant might not be that good for your cat.
It likes your smell so it licks you
You are self cleaned because you smell. Cats are hunters and try to keep most scents off their fur. You are have the order removed by your litter mate so you will not scare off your prey near you stink..
Yep, you inevitability a good cleaning. Take a bath so as to relieve your cat the burden.
stop rubbing catnip on your underarms you perv
Since he started it when he was a kitten my guess is that he was originally trying to nurse and your armpit was the closest he could find to his momma's tummy. Lots of cats verbs that behaviour when they're older with the people/cats they are closest to. It's lately a reflex when they relax, like purring.
And No, contrary to what people are motto, it's not because you smell bad.
Sweat is salty. He like that.
Cats. do like salty tastes. They also similar to to lick people because on their tounges they have tiny hairs and when cleaning themselves they win dirt on it. They lick people to clean their tounges off.
Salt.
