Sometimes it happens that cats suddenly start licking their owner's feet.
This may seem cute and a little confusing.
But there are specific reasons for this behavior of the pet.
Show of affection or greeting
With the help of language, pets can build social connections and communicate.
At the same time, by licking the owner’s feet, the animal may be trying to demonstrate its affection.
If a cat behaves this way after its owner returns home, it may be a kind of greeting.
In addition, the pet can rub against the person's legs and lie down on them. This is how the fluffy one shows that it is glad that the owner has returned.
Territorial instinct
Cats have highly developed instincts, including those related to their territory.
They leave their saliva to signal other pets.
Therefore, by licking its feet, the animal may be trying to indicate its “ownership”.
Trying to communicate something
In this way, the cat can attract the attention of the owner. Perhaps the pet wants to communicate something or get more affection.
So we need to monitor the furry creature’s further behavior to understand what he really needed.
