Is it normal i lick my cats head to calm her

My cat is a rescue from the streets and she suffers from anxiety. Petting doesn’t calm her so I try to mimic cat behavior. I slowly blink at her then I gently lick the top of her head. She licks back at starts purring.

I know most will find it weird but I’m just imitating cat behavior. Everybody says we have such a tight bond.

    I don't think that's normal. Stroking it would've been more acceptable.

    I like the slow blink part. Keep doing that. I wouldn't lick the cat,though.

      I don’t lick anywhere else except her head 😒 She’s indoor and has been dewormed.

    I understand you, OP. It's a bit weird, but it's kind of sweet tbh.

    Cat hair doesn't seem appetizing.

        I love cats but they lick their ass and then their fur. Do the math.

    I couldn't imagine being a cat and my owner starts randomly licking me. If I was your cat, I'd bite your ass.

      She likes it. Cats lick each other to calm them.

    She has “anxiety” Bc she’s an outside cat. Licking her isn’t going to help. Lol

      It calms her and she licks my hand in return. I’ll do anything to help my cat, I love her.

        She’s upset Bc she’s a prisoner. And you just want an excuse to lick cats.

    What do you do with the hair balls in your mouth?
