Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2005Cat tongue
My cat has started licking me around the ears and my hair. I've got to say, she has the roughest tongue. I would have thought a cat's tongue would have been relatively smooth. I guess the roughness is needed for collecting loose hair or something. It feels like she's scraping me with 80 grit sandpaper. > My cat has started licking me around the ears and my hair.

She's very affectionate, but licking doesn't seem to be her 'thing' :-( Ivor > My cat has started licking me around the ears and my hair. I've got to say, > she has the roughest tongue.

I'll be lying down on the bed and she will come over to me and begin to lick my hair behind my ear. She will also lick my face. I mean the entire side of my face including my eyelid. She even likes to lick my nose and groom my mustache. The other day I was carrying her up on my shoulder and she started licking my hair. I guess to her she thinks I'm just big cat that needs to be groomed. Fred Ellis SignatureWho do you serve. . . . And who do you trust?

My problem is that I'm fairly bald and for what little hair she licks, she's mostly licking scalp and her tongue is so rough to the point that it almost hurts. Not sure why she started doing it. Hope it's just a nine month old phase. >> My cat has started licking me around the ears and my hair. I've got to >> say, she has the roughest tongue.

No, it isn't fun, especially with a muscular animal like my little boy, but has to be done periodically to avoid scratching up furniture and human skin!

If you do manage to get a proper look at her tongue, you'll see that the upper surface is covered in tiny 'hooks'. http://www.catsinternational.org/articles/senses_and_features/amazing_feline_ton gue.html I remember hearing it said on some TV nature program, a long time ago, that these same 'hooks' on a lion's tongue could rip the flesh from your arm should they choose to lick you. o_O Just heard it the one time. Don't know if it's quite true or not. Perhaps we should send ghoul-cow to find out for us... ttyl, Amur_ Yes...I always laugh and say I dont need to exfoliate my face...my cat does it for me! >> My cat has started licking me around the ears and my hair.

No clue what lameness has to do with top posting. lameness n : disability of walking due to crippling of the legs or feet >> Yes...I always laugh and say I dont need to exfoliate my face...my cat >> does it for me! [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > top posting showcases your lameness, idiot. > Hmmmm. No clue what lameness has to do with top posting. > > lameness > > n : disability of walking due to crippling of the legs or feet SNIP My personal opinion on top or bottom posting is that if the person takes the time to reply and give me an answer to my question, I don't really care if it is top or bottom posted. I am thankfull someone just took the time to answer me. I can always scroll down to read what the reply too was. Unless I am just feeling lazy. LOL And sometimes I am. So to everyone on here who have ever taken the time to answer any question I have asked wether top or bottom posted I say thank you for taking the time to reply to me and help me out. P.S. The last post about lameness was not meant as a flame. I just don't understand what having a a crippling disability has to do with top posting. My cat loves to sit on the back of my chair and groom my hair. I have one cat who seems to know when I have a migraine. She will lay beside my head on the pillow agaisnt the side that hurts and purr and groom. It actually seems to help. She is a sweet cat. It's when they do things like that that makes having a pet great. |
