    It cant be Healthy to lick the coating on the photo, or even burn through that and like the INK.

    I got rid of the photos.Can't believe I never thought of the harm the chemicals could do.She has loads of catnip toys,and has an on-off relationship with them.


    Thanks for sharing btw!

    My cat likes to lick photos too! I don't panic when she does but I don't leave photos around for her to lick :-), think you have done the right thing.

    My cats both love it when we have been swimming and are super affectionate and lick our arms... also when DH goes to the gym and leaves his clothes in a sweaty minging pile for a shower, one cat rolls around in his clothes in ecstasy. Weird weird animals!

    I think it's a good call to stop leaving the photos lying around. Mine has a penchant for licking my nails/ nail file when I've been filing them down, and also for the chlorine smell when I've been swimming.

    Yes,my kitty loves to lick my hands when I've just put face cream on,and goes completely loopy when she comes across tops of mine-it's the armpit area that she nuzzles against.


    My dad has a leather rucksack that she will spend ages rubbing against,purring loudly.

    I have a cat that does that. She will actively seek out emery boards to chew, so I only file my nails when she's not around!

    Emery boards are a big favourite with mine, so I chuck them on the floor when I am finished. The long haired thinks he is Ossie Clark and likes to join in with the hair drying.

    I had to start shutting her out when filing my nails but when I go to wash my hands afterwards she tries to jump in the sink to have a quick lick of my nails before the water gets to them. Strange cat!

    I haven't seen this one on here yet, my boy likes to pull the pillow case off & lick the memory foam pillow, i think it's got some kind of anti-bac stuff in it so maybe it's that
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
