The kittens are coming!

@dlowan,

Whom are you kidding? You are rejecting her, so you might as well be honest about it. Just tell her plainly where it's at: "Enough with the lerve! Enough with with your tongue in my face! Enough with your tongue in your anus before you stick it in my face! I reject that!" Or, if you're not the confrontative kind, you could go for the classic line of female rejection: "It's not you, it's me." Either way, you do want to reject her, and your denial about it is doing neither of you any good.

Oh, wait, this thread isn't in the relationships forum?

No, this is the kind and gentle kitten place. Shocked

@dlowan,

offer her something else to lick?

not sure if it works with cats, but it's what mrs hamburger came up with Cleo who did a lot of submission licking initially - if she went for our faces, we'd offer the backs of our hands. the back of my left hand was almost licked raw in a couple of spots before she gained enough confidence to cut back on the licking, but it kept her tongue out of my mouth/nose/eyes/ears

@dlowan,

Alright then, how about a nice long cuddle on your lap? That way she will be both affirmed as a person and safely removed from your face.

Miranda licked me a lot (face included) when I first got her. (She was rescued from a fire.)

She eventually stopped licking my face. I'm sure she could sense that I didn't like it.

deb, Do you act like you don't like it? Or are you trying to be nice?

I've never heard this term before. Can you explain?

Do cats and dogs both do this?

@Eva,

Pacco use to like to lick my feet when I emerged from a shower. Dog with foot fetish, what a cutie. Nuts, it was probably my dr. brommer's soap..

Whatever this is it ain't no stinking submission.

Theyre both extremely licky, seems to be a breed thing.

Sebastian licks anything, she licks my face.

I think it's part of their bonding...like they lick each other.

It's kind of nice in a way, apart from the hygiene aspects.

Anyway, I am sending them back.

Why you ask?

Was it the chunder in the passage? The steaming pile of **** in the tray?

Being woken early?

The chaos in the place?

The battle currently going on my bed?

I'm glad you're through with this "but I don't want to feel them rejected" delusion.

More seriously though: If they just lick anything, I second Beth's suggestion about offering her something else to lick. I'm thinking of the back of your left hand, which is unlikely to touch anything or be shaken by other humans' hands.

I only know it in dogs.

Cleo arrived in Stage 6 - fearful and worried. Submissive licking and submissive urination on greeting were her two big problems initially. She seemed desperate to demonstrate that she was a good dog.

@Thomas,

Just had a battle with Sebastian over face licking!

I decided to blow on his nose when his face got too close after he nipped my nose

Oh the horror!

He couldn't believe it!

He raised a paw to me, so we had to have a short but intense "we don't hit mummy" discussion.

I suspect further discussions will be had on the theme of who the boss is around here.

@Thomas,

They don't lick anything...they lick ME

It just seems to be a Cornish Rex thing.

we'll be sorting out the licking boundaries

@dlowan,

deb, I admire your determination. And your semidelusion that you can be the boss of a cat.

They'll learn about consequences. And they'll decide whether what they want to do is worth suffering the consequences.

I'm loving reading about the details. Like being a cat mother once removed. Granted it's a giant removed. A goil can dream, can't she?

@dlowan,

Sorry about MAtty . I still remember every dog and cat Ive ever shared our home with. Each had a unique personality and some thing special that endeared each one to us.

We are now looking into another Border Collie pup and another Bombay cat to replace Lucky, who was murdered by some douche bags .

Do they have any special quirks ?

@farmerman,

I am very sorry to hear that farmer person.

I do hope you do not have such a horrid thing happen again.

And thank you re my little Miranda

Off to look up Bombay cat

Have they become Mumbai cats now?

Oh....lovely....black panther cats I see....

How could anybody with a soul shoot a face like this?

@farmerman,

A lot of insecure men(especially, not only) seem to hate cats.

And some people just like killing.

Sigh.
