Actually it can take it as a kiss. He/she is showing affection. However, they are also marking you. You are now part of the family. Additionally, they are tasting your scent. Believe it or not you have scent the can taste as well as getting salt off your skin. So there are a whole slew of reasons he/she may be licking you.

I think so, also some of our cats (esp my hubbys girl cat, they are the whole families cats, but you know how cats claim certain people) will put their paws on each side of our neck and give us hugs. Also, we have a baby male kitten that we found in November. When we found him he couldn't have been much older than 6 weeks (both our and the vets estimate) old, did not weigh even a pound, and had a BAD respiratory infection. Anyway, he will just purr and climb on your chest and very gently nibble on your chin. I think this is his version of giving kisses and also a substitute for suckling since he didnt get to be with his kitty mama long enough. We love cat kisses in our house!

Yes I think so...at least how I take it. They can't kiss to show you affection so they just lick you.

No, they are cleaning you which means they love you and are making sure you are properly groomed.
You can take it to mean a kiss if you want.
