Does anyone know why cats like to lick on and bite pictures? l was looking through some old pictures today and my cat would not get away she kept trying to lick them, anyone know why?

 

Cats !?!!?!?

I had a cat years ago that was obsessed with licking pictures. It must be the chemicals on the paper or the smooth surface.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

cats love to taste things! my cat will lick or nibble anything!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

it is probably the smell of the pictures. I do not know exactly what it is that coats pictures but it is probably the coating that your cat is interested in. It is highly unlikely that it has anything to do with what she sees on the picture.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

Cats do not only like to lick/bite pictures, but that is something that they r intrigued by. If u notice, the cat is rubbing the side of her face against the edges, then licking the pictures, & rubbing her face against. That is how cats mark their territory. I know it is strange.

You will see ur cat rub his/her face against tons of different things in ur home, mine love to rub up against purse handles. Again, just marking territory.

He/She may have also had a taste of something new, too. All cats react differently to different things. One thing I find really amusing is writing something right next to them, & they just cannot contain themselves with the pen/pencil!

Must have had a certain smell your cat liked! Animals, particularly cats, seem to all have strange behaviors at times.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

Maybe she likes the taste?

Cats r curious!! I have a cat, & she is interested in whatever I do; if I open a drawer or a cupboard, she hurries over to see if anything she might like is there. In fact, she has learned to open closet doors by herself. She also likes to scratch on paper, especially newspaper, & she has a photo album which I made with her own pictures in it -- that also intrigues her. She wants to share my food when I eat. She is the only cat I've ever had, but I think that it is the nature of cats to want to investigate things that appear novel. Cats r also prone to licking, so there might have been a texture or flavor to ur photos which appealed to her. My cat is always fascinating to me; I am still amazed by how much I love her.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

She probaly know the person in the picture and likes them.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

The chemicals in the photo and the way it feels on their gums!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

I think she saw that you were paying attention to something that was not her and she wanted your attention

 

Cats !?!!?!?

umm no cats are wierd but i love them :-)

 

Cats !?!!?!?

It is probably not the ink, because if the pictures were old, the ink is not wet. She is probably just curious about the photographs. They're smart, you know, but they do not know what a picture is, and they wanna know.

Sorry, if this is a weird answer, I do not really know much about cats. I am just guessing.

But, I hope it helps!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

Because she/he might really love you and they might be hugury or might want to play with you. cats are very good players they love to play alot.! By the way your cat must be very cute and funny!!!!!!!!!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

probably the taste of the film. but thats strange, cause i have 7cats and they leave everything alone except the chickens. and im only 13

 

Cats !?!!?!?

She could be attracted to the traces of developer left on the pictures or the texture of the paper itself.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

who knows/ cats have weird habits! i have one who loves to jump on my belly and sleep there!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

they think they are pretty..pretty tastey!!

 

Cats !?!!?!?

no they like to lick paper with ink on it too.

 

Cats !?!!?!?

she is amused by them. if some pictures are of you, then she is probably confused and wants to see which ones the real you
