I have a 2 year old male cat who is neutered. I adopted him when he was a kitten from an animal shelter. I recently moved into a new home back in the beginning of May. He actually seemed to adjust pretty well.

But a few weeks ago, when I turned on the AC in the house because it's starting to get really hot and humid out, he has been licking the vent the air comes out in my bedroom. o_O Whenever he comes into my room, he goes straight for the vent and will just sit there and lick it. Yet, I don't see him doing it to any other vents in the house, just the one in my bedroom. Lol.

I don't know if this is true or not, but my coworker told me that if a cat starts licking the refrigerator or other kitchen appliances (lol) it could mean he/she has leukemia. My cat doesn't seem to be acting strangely otherwise, I've just never seen him do this before, not even back at our previous house.

Just posting in case anyone may have clues as to why he may be doing this. Maybe he likes the feel of the cool air on his tongue? (But I think he licks it even when the air is not blowing out too.) And why would it only be the vent in my bedroom?

Thanks in advance for your input!
