My newest cat who is 2 years old....?

Question

She is the sweetest kitty, we adopted her about 3 months ago from PetSmart (through a foster place called Cat Connection) and when I saw her in the cage there the first thing she did was lick my fingers through her cage. It said she was a mama kitty to four kittens when they found her and took her in. She likes to follow me around rubbing up against my legs constantly almost like how a dog would do.

Since bringing her home with us she's always licking my hands, sometimes licks my nose, like trying to groom me or something. Is this her way of showing me her love for me or what? I just often wondered what that's about. Our older cat, who is 8 now has never done the licking deal with me.

I always have fresh water and food readily available to my cats so it isn't that she's hungry. My cats are well taken care of.

Answer 1

I had a cat years ago and now my friends cat does the same thing showing it's affection to me. Yes i believe it is an act of love from the cat. Cat's are smart and can sense if you are a "cat person".

Answer 2

She is hungry.
