Ok, I'm at my witts end here....

Tom, the cat I rescued..loves Granvel, still hates me...
I've tried everything to get him to like me...failed every time.
Finally got him to quit pooing by the recliner..one good hurdle cleared


However, He has taken up this new disgusting habbit that is usually occupied by dogs....

He licks. I'm not talking about the occasional walks up licks your fingers and goes on...I'm talking about excessive licking that NEVER ENDS!!!

about a week ago, he came to rub my leg, as he usually does, I jsut can't reach down to pet him. Its the only contact he allows!!!
Well, he started licking my feet. I thought it was funny at first...but he wouldn't quit, he followed me every where I went,licking!!!
I got aggrivated, put on socks, so he moved to my legs...then hands, now, any and every part of bare skin, he feels the need to lick it.

And keep licking until I'm raw....
Its so aggrivating..especially at night...I sleep with the covers over my head...If I try and push him away, or something, I get bit as usual....Granvel has to put him in the other room....

But he only does this to me, not him...isn't that odd???

I've got the distinct suspision that he hates me so he knoes it aggrivates and annoys me, thats why he does it. GRRRRR

If Tom is licking you he likes you. Also, when Tom rubs up against your leg, he is marking his scent on you to state to the world that you belong to him. Despite what you may think I believe Tom likes you very much.

Then why won't he let me pet him or pick him up?? He will hiss at me and bite and claw if I try too. Yet he comes to me (occasionally) to rub my leggs, and constantly lick me.

Granvel can pick him up, carry him around, pethim when ever he wants.

I think you should stop caring whether or not he likes you. Pet him if he comes up to you, but otherwise act as if you don't care. I'm sure he can tell that it bothers you and that's probably partly why he does it.
