Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2008Another question about my goof ball cat
Whenever I pet my cat, he commences to lick his front leg or his side just behind the shoulder. When I stop, he stops; and when I start again, so does he. What's behind this curious behavior?

I think he is trying to understand how someone can be so nice to him and what he should do about it. Cats are just weird! When I pet Amber she always has to lick something - either herself or a blanket. When she comes down to greet me in the morning she will lie just beyond my reach so I can't pet her. At other times she loves to be petted. Tiger loves to hiss. He got up on my lap a little while ago and before settling down, he hissed at me. Go figure. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') >Cats are just weird!

Weird. It explains most of the odd stuff about them. Cats are weird. This is our 4th month together; I must admit, the first month or 2 were tense between us, but every day it's getting better. It took a while before he stopped hiding under the furniture. At the moment he's sleeping behind me in his chair with a full belly. I think he still might have room for a treat or two! >> Whenever I pet my cat, he commences to lick his front leg or his side >> just [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > been together?

You have been captivated by your new feline family member, & It sounds like you are doing a great job too. The hiding was fear, & the fact that he sits behind you now, tells me that you have formed that wonderful bond. Enjoy being a cat slave, it is not so bad & has some brilliant frindge- benefits with him He will love you unconditionally, he will always be there for you when other humans let you down, & best of all, he loves you too. I can't wait to hear the life and times.... Enjoy, & congratulations on becoming a fully fledged Cat Slave :o) Sheelagh >"o"< > Whenever I pet my cat, he commences to lick his front leg or his side just > behind the shoulder.

My newest cat will let you pet him for say, 1 minute, before he procedes to nip at you until you stop. The second you stop, he feels the need to bathe himself.

My silly cat will flop down on the floor when he feels like playing ...and no one will play with him... and start to look like he's taking his hind foot & slapping his face with it. Then he attacks it & rolls around in a ball. The cat is 7 years old & has done this all of his life! We call him our self-abusing cat!
