A thread inspired by @LoveYourSmile. Even if cats are known to be the cleanest pets you can own and have the best grooming habits, do you believe they still remain too dirty to be kissed? Do you actually kiss your cat? If you do, how often and where? Do you feel it might still be a slightly dirty thing to do? I love to kiss my cats on the forehead and never thought there was anything dirty about it. What do all think? Whether or not you own a cat. @KittenCuddler @Serafos @Cybercat2000 @Little_Sheepling

I nose-to-nose kiss my cat pretty often, as for reason she always leans her face towards me if I approach her a certain way.
As a kitten she used to lick my face to the point of obsession, but she's stopped doing that now.
I don't really mind, she probably has better dental hygiene than I do 😂🤐

I kiss my cats on top of their head, which is the cleanest place.
Just avoid having too much contact with their cheeks and nose like @Little_Sheepling because they like to rub their nose right up another cats asshole and scratch their cheeks with their feet.
But mostly it should be reserved for special occasions.
It’s more appropriate to hug and cuddle your cats and accept that you’ll always be dealing with microbial poop fragments.

How about not to kiss a cat no matter how adorable it is?

Poke its butt.

I like to say that cats are real clean, but their teeth do get dirty with time. If you don't want your cat to need teeth extraction in her old age, you should consider having tartar removed by a veterinarian every few years or so.

idk why would I kiss a cat, the purpose of animals is so that they run around and eat things and knock things over, I get why one would pet an animal but not kiss

@fleurbleue that sounds retarded, there is already a reptilian thing living with me and I have 0 desire to kiss a tortoise.

First up, maybe one of the two guys with a name starting with 14 has a point, because there has to be some sort of brain worm that makes people want to kiss their animals.

Second, I wont go into detail because last time I got banned for this... But there is a particular reason for why some billionaires dont have supermodel wives and it has EVERYTHING to do with the existence of a certain industry in Africa which is hiding behind hunting exotic animals. Now I am not saying that the only point of safaris is to get rich guys into Africa so they can you know with lions and cheetahs. Thats such an outrageous conspiracy and I am glad they ban people who spread it. I mean thats just such flawed logic, if I was a billionaire and I could race power boats or watch live midget fights, I would surely spend my time driving for hours through the savanna just to shoot a giraffe in the head.

Kissing out of affection is a pretty normal thing. I doubt all the mothers over the world have brain worms that make them kiss their babies. And affection for cats is often linked as a subconscious parental instinct. That's called the baby schema.

Cuteness is often used as a measure indicative of attractiveness to a stimulus commonly associated with infancy and youth. The term was conceptualized in the Konrad Lorenz's notion of Kindchenschema (or baby schema) and first described by the ethologist as a set of facial features (i.e., large head and a round face, a high and protruding forehead, large eyes, and a small nose and mouth) able to trigger an innate releasing mechanism for caregiving and affective orientation toward infants. More recently, several empirical studies have shown that faces with these traits are commonly perceived as cute and attractive and are consistently preferred to those with a less infantile facial configuration

@fleurbleue yeah, liking cats is normal but kissing things platonically is something I always found weird even though its considered normal too. Idk, ig kissing a cat at least isnt creepy (unlike kissing a dog).

Pets rub their assholes everywhere. You have your cat on your pillow, next time you go to sleep, you're breathing in cat asshole. What else does your cat clean by itself?

Wow, all your hard work of trying to convince me how clean you are just went to waste.

Kissing your cat? Just why? Why would you do that? You are like those people who kiss their dogs on the mouth and then say that "they are the cleanest animals," blah-blah. HAVE YOU SEEN THE THINGS THAT A DOG PUTS IN HIS MOUTH?? Not to mention that even your dog/cat doesn't want you to kiss it. It's weird; it's gross. And I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to say it. It is always middle class white people who do it. Like, I'm not trying to get political, but I think we should be able to do better because some of us are just regular people who want to live normal lives. I've spent so many years in Japan where people are obsessed with these awful beasts, and yet I still didn't see a single person crazy enough to actually kiss their cat. I'm tired of being stereotyped by those around me as some sort of freak who values his highly questionable intimate connection with some animal more than actual humans, all because of threads like these. I'm not one of them! I don't even have a pet!! HEEEEELP!!!

I don't have cats myself, but I prefer to kiss only humans (if at all). I'm not worried about the hygienic aspects - after all, Louis Pasteur himself admitted that his germ theory was wrong and the terrain theory was right - it just doesn't sound appealing at all to me to kiss a cat

Of course! That's merely a tempor... "tem*purr*ary" humiliation. Like with most cats, the master will eventually become the pet - cat ears included! In the meantime, I get to enjoy the free food, shelter, and occasional kisses.

Given that due to my reclusive and non-involving nature in person, any prospects of finding a being I would be attracted to by a huge magnitude more times to get past the barrier with would be rather low, the chances of me getting crazy about some kitten would be infinitesimal low. I don't mind playing with cats though, I just don't feel any urge to get one myself and even far less to kiss one, but unlike our distance-to-the-sun person not because I would fear some random, extremely small entities, but rather because I see no point in doing so
