Cate turned on her laptop and typed in "normal cat behavior". She clicked on the first site she saw and read.
"Cats rubbing their face on you is a sign of affection and appeasement. Cats have glands on their cheeks and the corners of their mouths. When they rub up against your leg or other body part, they leave some of their scent on you. According to feline etiquette, that's a compliment.
Eating small amounts of grass can be nutritious for cats. If your cat is drawn to eating greenery, take inventory of your houseplants. Many species are toxic to felines, such as aloe and philodendron, and Easter lilies, which are deadly.
It may seem lazy, but sleeping or lounging around the whole day is a survival trait if you're a cat. As they evolved in the wild, felines developed a pattern for conserving energy. They hunt for a short period and spend the rest of the day sleeping.
Kneading: when Tiger jumps on your lap to knead your legs, it means she's feeling relaxed, comfortable and secure. Kneading is learned very early in a cat's life. It's something most kittens do while nursing.
If your cat makes a habit of licking your fingers, there are several possible reasons. The first is that your cat simply likes the taste of your sweat or hand lotion. In some cases, licking can be a comforting behavior; it may be linked to nursing."
She moved to another site.
"Rubbing against an object, licking, and purring (sometimes) show affection. Many cats will exhibit play fighting which is connected to predatory instinct. It is recommended that play fighting be encouraged and to not use edible food during the game because this will make the cat lose interest quickly in the game."
She shut down her computer and looked at the hand Lux had licked. It was odd for her to think that her daughter, someone who appeared every bit human, often acted like nothing more than a common house pet. It was definitely something she had to get used to. Though she couldn't deny that knowing the reason behind not only Lux's purring but licking pleased her especially since it was something positive.
