I'd like a lick emote as well.
It'd make it pretty darn cute! Little cubs licking their parents teehee. I'd like to see though like... well I watch alot of animal planet and national geo over the years, and I'd like a small barking emote as well as the snort/bark/howl that big cats do. It's more common in lions when they call their young to shut up or declare territory.
XD It's super funny with the big bad boys of the pride do it at a water buffalo. Buffalo do it right back x)
