Cat nibbles ear
My ear licking cat. Hi there, I have the strangest of cats. His name is smokey, and he has had this weird habit of sucking on your earlobes. He is over a 2 years old and continues his ear licking ways. I would have thought he would have grown out of this strange habit. Smokey the cat has been renamed jokingly to the ear sucker. Cat nibbles ear picture added.Steve wrote back in and asked me to add this note about his ear licking smokey cat: Hi there, its Steve again with smokey the cat. I forgot to point out that Smokey does this with your eyebrows too. And licks your eyelids. Which is not the most pleasant experience at 4am. But its nice to feel wanted, in cat-speak, I guess! My mum has a cat which does the same thing, but on the living room rug. Little turrets are left frequently,resembling mini volcanoes.

Sucking ear lobes by: Anonymous My kitten sucks on my earlobes and kneads at my neck. Only my ears. When she’s done there’s a little hickey on the bottom of my lobe. Lol but she won’t lick my face. She even will fall asleep sucking on my ear. I got her when she was 5 weeks old and she is now 11 weeks old and she still does this. Shes my sweet girl.

ottoman licking cat by: Anonymous We have a 1 year old cat named Porter, he is an indoor cat most of the time he likes to be outside with me when I garden or if it’s sunny he lays on the porch. He loves to play and get his belly rubbed. However my husband and I have this yellow ottoman in our bedroom and porter will sit there and lick it for like and hour, we yell at him and nothing we pull him away he comes right back, it’s the strangest thing any ideas of why he might be doing this? Or how to get him to stop.

My Russian Blue Loves my Ear Lobes by: Anonymous I rescued a pair of Russian Blue kittens last fall. Batman is more affectionate than any cat I have ever known. He puts his arms around my neck, rubs his face against mine, licks my face and neck and nibbles on my ear lobes. It is amazing that his brother Robin will rub his face on mine but he is not into ears.

I Miss My Kitty by: Julie You’ll have to forgive me. I just had half a bottle of wine and a couple much-needed muscle relaxers and I’m a bit loopy, so your story made me bawl like an idiot. ~LOL~I had an absolutely gorgeous, huge, long-haired Siamese-mix cat (looked like a Ragdoll) named (appropriately enough) Smokey that I rescued at a very early age. He absolutely ADORED sucking on my ear and kneading my hair at night. He slobbered all over my neck, but I didn’t have the heart to make him stop. He tore out the screen one day and ran off and even though we’ve gotten other wonderful cats since then, I still miss him horribly. Cats are one of God’s most precious gifts.

Mine too! by: Anonymous My cat Louis also does the armpit thing to me every night when he is ready to settle down. A little weird but I think it’s just a comforting thing as he has done it since we brought him home at 6 weeks.

armpit loving cat by: Anonymous my boyfriend’s cat olive is madly in love with his armpits. At least once a day she will come over if he is laying down (and only if he has a shirt on) and bury her face into his armpit, purring and kneading at it like crazy like a kitten at his momma’s teat. Hilarious to say the least.

My cat does ear licking! by: Charlotte Hi! I was so glad to read the story of your ear-licking cat. I have a two year old male orange tabby named Garfield. He has sucked on my earlobe and kneaded my face as long as I have had him. His sister, Mango, has no interest in this behavior at all. I thought he was just a weird cat but now I know I am not alone. Thanks!

Me Too! by: Tiffany Hi there. I have a 4 year old cat that sucks my earlobes also. She started it as a baby and has never stopped. She was a little younger than we thought when we first got her, and, to her, I AM Mommy. It’s all about the comfort now rather than actual sustenance, of course. I hope she never stops. It’s a great bonding experience.
