A Human Popsicle

Now that it is officially summer and also shorts weather, Theo's trait of liking to lick things has gone up another level.

When I'm wearing shorts around the house Theo loves to lick my legs. Most of the time I think this is a show of affection but other times I think it's because he knows if he licks me long enough I will move so if I'm just lounging around this is a good way to get me up and about.

Ahhh, he's not just licking you when you get out of the shower anymore, but all day long!

I think he is grooming you : )

I know you've mentioned this before, but it just occurred to me that Cricket, my white-chinned tuxedo, is also a licker. She especially likes hand cream, but out-of-the-shower is also a favorite. John, the tuxedo with the black chin, doesn't lick me, but he is fond of fake grass. And funny, even Captain Jack at his tender age likes to lick my chin. I'm trying to think of any other cats who lick like this, and none are coming to mind. Definitely seems to be a tuxedo trait.

I like to do that too, licking on mum's legs and toes. It is also fun to come up behind and pounce on her bare legs.
