That’s the kitty getting overwhelmed. Move your arm out the way for a bit to let him calm down.
This doesn’t work if your cat is just feeling playful or energetic.
Lol mine does it if I keep perfectly still, so any overwhelming going on is purely of her own making. Luckily she’s tiny and her claws don’t really penetrate. And god, those sorry licks inbetween…
Mine used to, too, but we mostly managed to train it out of him. He’d literally get in your lap and do a combat roll into this kind of thing. I think it was supposed to say “play with me”. Or just cat mischief.
I just go along with it. I strangely do not mind having my hand and forearm shredded.
Yep, my male cat is a bit special, and he gets over stimulated very easily, and he only does this when he is.
My cat is always playful and energetic lol but he’s a wild one at 1 1/2. Got a 2nd one and she’s helping calm him down thankfully, she’s just also the sweetest damn thing, purrs at the drop of a hat
The back of the upper segment of my left middle finger and the knuckle directly above it are excruciatingly itchy at this moment bc this comic played out five minutes ago.
Now she’s looking at me angrily, flipping the tail. Sorry you got reprimanded and I stopped petting you bc you keep trying to tear my fucking arm apart like a violent otter.
But look at that belly… better get another pet in
Fun fact, licking can be a sign of dominance in cats. So when they lick you while biting or wrestling, they may not be trying to make amends!
Thank you for subscribing to Cat Facts.
So just lick your cat back and assert dominance. Got it.
Yes. Then later, throwing up hair balls together will be a bonding experience.

“Hands aren’t toys” is my rule of thumb for cats and mouthy dogs, but dang is it tempting
Ha ha. No toy thumb rule.
Lmao at kicking interlude, like it’s their own little sharp and scratchy drum solo 😹
