How lick-y is your Savannah?

Question for those of you with suckers.....was this behavior there right from the beginning or did it develop over time. Rafiki started sucking on our fingers when she was about 11 months old. This coincided with my return from a business trip.

Elsa started about 30 minutes after getting out of her carrier for the first time.

Nyah will give a little lick here and there, and if she is really into a bath she will just continue on to my hair, too. Kovu is a licker. Like a puppy. We have to tell him "no licking" or it would be constant. He knows I don't want to be licked and licked, so he will slowly oooch up as if I can't see him sneaking up on me! If he sees that I have caught him, he just sticks his nose on me like "I am not licking!" What is worse? Cat spit or cat boogers? :eek:

The funny thing is, Kovu is not big on grooming himself. He will, but he is not like Nyah. In fact, Nyah grooms him and will hold him down to get the job done. He is squirming and she is saying sit still, delinquent! Otherwise you are a stinky kitten! o_O

I keep wondering how much of this behavior I should encourage/discourage. She is constantly grooming us all. The finger sucking is probably the most disturbing as she really goes to town. She has also started sucking on hubby's toes. Eek.

This is why Savannahs should not have access to iPads or computers. They conspire and for all we know, one of them has created "humans owned by Savannah Cats chat" to assist them in their overall domination project.
