When a cat licks our hand, it means that it likes us a lot. It's a sign that it depends on and trusts its owners. It feels safe when it's with us.

Of course, sometimes cats lick their owners' hands because they are thirsty or hungry. Licking your hand might be their way of telling you they want to eat. If you're unsure, you should immediately check your cat's food or water bowl to see if it's empty. If it is, you must refill it immediately to ensure your cat doesn't go hungry.
