    one of our cats licks my arm, when i hold him, to tell me he wants down.

    otherwise he is really into fingers. he cleans our hands and starts chewing on them. not sure if it’s part of the grooming ritual (because they also “chew” on their fur to treat matting) or he has some weird fetish.

        this is possible. we got both our cats from a shelter. the one doing this was apparently born in a shelter. don’t know the details. in general he is perfectly fine. he seriously shows affection and trust towards us, but he is terribly simple to spook. each time the door rings, or a person visits, which he doesn’t know well, he is gone into the farthest corner, bit often comes back, when we ask him . the other one used to be a stray and apparently already moved quiet much. he had only one eye, and I’m pretty sure it had to do with him being the typical orange mad cat. first times we used a vacuum, he was charging to it and punching it.
