So, here's the thing: I've got a cat who does nothing but lick the blanket in her bed or on my bed. At first I thought it was just a habit, but now I'm not sure... HELP ME!!

    Nanou,

    I’m not sure how old your cat is or if she’s been spayed? So it’s a bit hard to give you an answer!

    But anyway, Angèle—I rescued her when she was only 15 days old (her story is on my profile) and she’s 5 now—still suckles on my nose (erm, it hurts sometimes!) lol

    She might be doing it because she's young and teething, or otherwise just for fun! It really depends on her age, and if she’s always done it!!!

    But there’s no need to panic unless she’s an older cat who’s suddenly started chewing things; in that case, she might have a toothache! It’s hard to say for sure without knowing her age!

    It’s normal, mine licks the floor too – at least my mum doesn’t have to mop! ^^
