Why does my cat l**k my armpit?? ?

Question

When i go to bed my cat sleeps on the floor in a little bed, she doesn't like to sleep there that much, so she jumps on my bed and licks my armpit?? i know its gross but...

Answer 1

Oh, my kittens like doing that. Especially when I need a wash!!! It gross 'ay. I have no idea why they like doing that.

Answer 2

She thinks you're dirty LOL, I don't really know why they do this, it's either you smell like sweat, or they like the smell of the deodorant.  I've had 1 cat that used to do this and it drove me nuts.

Answer 3

Good Question, we have a new 13 week old kitten, she likes to sleep in or near our armpits, maybe because it is warm there or she just is snuggling,,,put I found that she was attracted by the smell of the deodrant i had on, so i switched brands and she stopped.

Answer 4

Because sweat tastes salty to them and they like the taste.
