I've seen a mother cat that had just given birth. In the first few hours, she was constantly licking her kittens all over, including their genital areas. This licking serves multiple purposes. It not only cleans the kittens but also helps in the bonding process between the mother and her babies. It's an essential part of the early care that mother cats provide to their kittens.
In the book 'The Cat Who...' series, the main cat character shows love in various ways, including licking. It has a special relationship with its owner, and the licking is a form of communication and affection within the story.
Well, once I was helping at an animal shelter. There was a shy little kitten. When I first had to check if she had any sores in that area, it was a gentle process. I had to be really careful as she was scared. I used a soft swab to do a quick check. It was a new experience for me in terms of handling such a young and timid cat in this way.
Well, here's another take. There was this one time, an old cat in a camping area. It was a bit of a legend among the regular campers. It had a little 'home' made out of an old box near the campsite. Campers would often leave out water for it. One night, during a big storm, the cat found its way into one of the tents and snuggled up with a camper, providing some unexpected warmth and comfort.
I'm not sure specifically what you mean by 'old camping pussy stories'. It could be about cats (pussy as a slang for cat) that were encountered during camping trips in the old days. For example, stories of finding a lost cat in the camping area and taking care of it until it was reunited with its owner.
One great story is about a stray cat that was constantly licking itself in a corner. A kind-hearted person took it in. Over time, the cat became very affectionate towards its new owner. It would always be around, licking the owner's hand as a sign of love and gratitude.
There are very few positive or common 'licking the old woman's feet stories' in general culture. It's rather an odd and inappropriate concept. However, in some extremely strange folktales from very remote areas, there might be some symbolic actions related to showing extreme respect or penance that could be misconstrued in this way, but these are very rare and not mainstream at all.
