sci, when I pet my cat in his consciousness does he feel as if a giant dry tongue is licking him? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Trudy.

Hello Trudy,
Your cat isn't conscious.

Really? Where do you draw the line? Are dolphins conscious? Are chimpanzees conscious?
A cat is conscious, of course, more than a frog. But less than a human.
As for petting the cat, probably the touch brings up memories of mom cat and siblings and a sense of safety and feels good man in general.
I think a cat can probably differentiate a it's tongue from a hand. When a cat rubs up against your leg or something he doesn't think he's rubbing against a tall dry hard tongue
they probably think of it as similar to when they rub against other cats
They don't care whether it's a tongue or a hand. They just like the feeling of shit rubbing against them. It's instinct for the most part. They use their own paws to clean themselves on spots they can't reach with their tongue (like their head). So all they feel is that you are cleaning them. That is an intimate and friendly gesture to cats, so in case they trust you, they enjoy it.
My gf's cat always starts licking my arm back when I pet him after a while. Wants to return the favor I suppose.
Doesn't make the cat conscious.
>implying you are conscious
So deep dude. The cat does not realize it's a cat. I realize I am a human. If I wasn't conscious I wouldn't be having this conversation. Simple as that.
what?
cats absolutely recognize they are cats the same way dogs recognize they are dogs, how else would they form packs without some sense of identity
