Very Funny Tabby Cats Pictures

I love tabby cats. Probably because I’ve had more than 5 so far but still, there is something about them. This one reminds me of my funny cat. She used to grab my neck with her front two paws, and kiss my cheek with her sandpaper-like tongue. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture with her doing that, in my pictures of cats, because no one thought it was cool as much as I did. I remember my sister always used to laugh saying “see even your funny cats think you need a bath.”

So what’s the deal with this kissing or licking?
Grooming is a very important part of cat’s everyday routine and they spend a large part of their grooming themselves. Kittens often use their tongue to taste new things. Studies show that the cat’s sense of taste is keener than that of the dog and that use their tongue to learn about things by licking them. Cats also do it to show their affection just like with their kittens. They do it to keep them healthy and to show them they are loved.

For some pet cats licking is a form of comforting behavior and is linked with the cat kneading its paws (paw pressing) on its owner. This is very common for cats that were separated from their mothers before 12 weeks of age. If cat is in pain or dying, she uses this as a method of comforting itself. Pet Cats use pawing along with purring to show their affection and contentment but also to mark their territory. Scent glands on their paws release small amounts of scent onto the person or object being pawed, marking it as “theirs.” Also yawning in front of their owners and blinking behavior is common in cats and may be a sign of trust or affection.
