why do cats lick u sometimes?

  sometimes when i fuss my cat he licks my hand sometimes. i'm wonderin if they lick u 4 the same reason th @ dogs lick u -4 effection and 2 say they love u. is this tru? and if not, y?
Yup! My cat does the same thing. I believe it's their way of being affectionate. Cats will groom each other as a sign of trust and love. If your cat is "washing" you, it's because he trusts and loves you . Please don't be mad at him if he tries to get his teeth between your fingers. He'll be gentle. They do this with their own toes, so he would be trying to do this with your fingers.
well my cats do that too, and it is because they think you are their 'kitten' and they need to care for you.

it is also the same reason they bring dead rodents in to your house-_-
lol I go NO! to my cat point at it and it licks my finger-_-, lol my cat usualy liks me when I got food on myself
my kitten does the same thing and she sometimes licks my face too its them showing affection
i belive its because of your salty skin
because they are bloody anoying
yup! they lick u to show that the are happy and likes you
