Do You Kiss your Pets?
 

Do you kiss them? I do.

I have always kissed all of my pets on their little mouths or heads or snouts or noses...I don't care! I love my babies!

I realize the kissing is gross and un sanitary- oh well.

Do any of you kiss your pets?

Yeah...but I try to avoid it right after they're done in the litterbox. Especially Miles. He sometimes likes to exit the litterbox with grains of the litter caked on his nose. What a disgusting bastard.

Elmo likes to be kissed on the top of the head. He'll come and headbutt you in the face.

^^ Ooooo!! So does Sabrina (cat)! She comes up and snuggles into you, and pushes her head at your face until you smooch her. She also cleans my hands obsessively... I guess I'm a salty snack.

I smooch my kitties, and my Quadro, whenever possible. They're very smoochy. Yep... going off to my "Crazy Cat Lady Club"...

Yep. I kiss my cat too. He hates it. I hold his face in my hands and smooch the top of his head. Then he shakes his head as if he can shake my kiss off. Silly cat. I love him.

Hugs and kisses and snuggles and a couple of my cats even try to spoon with me when I sleep. Mamas kitties!!!

I'm not a pet kisser. Petting works just fine, thankyouverymuch.

I like to kiss my kitties on the top of their bumpy lil' noggins. For the most part they appear to tolerate it. But if I go overboard with the snuggling and cuddling, they let me know of their displeasure soon enough. They prefer to cuddle when I'm on the toliet (??wtf?) or when I'm asleep.

My bf kisses the cat, them makes spitting and blech noises because of her fur all over his face. He'll also "raspberry" or "zerbert" her tummy, with the same noises to follow.

I've only ever "kissed" a dog... can't wait to get a puppy of my own. =)

Oooooooooooo I love giving tummy raspberries! The looks on their faces afterwards... priceless!

Always have, always will. Heads, necks, bellies, noses........Sophia likes it the most. She begs for kisses. And I am the germ freak, except with my babies. Now Red, he will only give air kisses, but he will eat food that has fallen on the floor! He'll never read this, so I can say that here.....

Nope. I've never kissed a dog. Now I've bitten a dog after it bit me.. it never bit me again either.

I'm not trying to be mean or jack this thread, but how can you kiss a cat?? Yuck.

I never kissed my cat. We would do cat kissies--touching noses.

My dog sometimes licks my face. That's about it though.

If it bites me I bite back as well.

As a cat-mom I can tell you Its a cat thing most wouldnt understand.:lol:
Seriously though to some of us our pets ARE our children and we treat them as such. Hugs and kisses are part of our love and adoration of our fur-kids. :)

Well yeah our dogs are like kids to us too.. but I'm not gonna kiss them. I've trained mine well enough where he won't lick me. My wife's dog on the other hand.. he's hopeless.

guilty :D :icare: those fuzzy little heads need kisses :)

With my wifes allergies I had to make the choice of kissing my pets or kissing my wife. She won, it was never a real contest.

I don't kiss my dog Jenny but i'll let her lick my face a little, actually I have no choice when I'm laying down and she jumps on the bed I'm defenseless. I have to shake my head and yell to make her stop.
She's a German Shepherd mutt we got from animal aid, they said she might be part chow because she has a black spot on her tounge. She is always licking everything and everyone. Has anyone ever seen a larger dog do this? I know some smaller breeds lick.

We say she can't hold her licker.

I, too get the head butts to give Morgana sugar on her head..cant do it to her if she doesnt want it though lol she's a brat

after i watched it do it's daily cleaning, i decided not to.

No way. Kissing is for people. Petting is for pets. My daughter will kiss her cat but even she won't go near the cats mouth.

You betcha! I kiss my dog when I leave the house and I let him kiss (=lick my face) me when I get back.

It might not be sanitary but I can't help it.

I love me some kitty slobber!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kiss my cat on the nose all the time. I don't really care if it's unsanitary. I've never been sick from it.

There are worse things on money; feces, semen, bacteria, germs, urine, drugs and other such nasties.

Gimme some pet slobber any day. :D

We cant help but kiss our dogs and cat, they sit on us, hold us down and *slurp* doggy kisses all round. The cat usually gets a kiss on the head but tummy rqaspberries for the two doggies....

as long as y'all don't get sick why not.

i let my dogs kiss me, since they just like to do it; but i don't kiss them back unless on the forehead after a headscratching.

FYI: Dog and cat mouths are cleaner than human mouths. Not to say I would advocate kissing something that can lick itself...

Also, I think the majority of people in here aren't kissing their pets on the mouth. :lol:

My birds don't seem partial to receiving kisses, but we let our cockatiel "kiss" our lips (she actually nibbles on them) as long as she doesn't bite too hard.
When I had cats, I would kiss them once in awhile...but not often, I don't like the taste of cat hair.

***Note kisses Sage gives her animals are closed mouthed and NEVER on the mouth.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum broadcast.

Side note:
Their mouths aren't cleaner than ours.

Here's the origin of that myth. In Emergency departments it is noted that human bites are more likely to cause complicated bacterial infections than dog or cat bites. The reason isn't because human mouths are "dirtier" but because human "bites" in the ER usually come from someone's hand being cut when they punch someone else in the mouth. The mechanism of injury results in a deep puncture. And deep-closed wounds get infected more often than open cuts and tears that occur more frequently with animal bites.

... sorry, I had to get that out of my system ...


Dog and cat mouths are dirtier ... but I still let my pooch kiss me. With my statement I guess I'm making myself sound more unsanitary than ever... oh well.

My one dog gives me the sweetest little boink-peck right on the mouth. My other dog just hyper-mode licks me, which is sort of endearing & sweet, too, but kind of slobbery & ack!! ;)

Slobbery or neat-n-sweet, I cherish them.

Personally, I don't like being face licked. But I am guilty of biting my doggy :) (that is until he bit my nose, ouch).

I kiss Picabo on the nose, all the time. I just need to watch out for her tongue.

I kiss my cats on the nose and top of the head. Never had any problems with that, I love them very much and don't see why not.

Wow I love this thread! I kiss my dogs all the time. I like to roll around on the floor with them then lay still and then they start licking me and acting all like 'what the hell is he going to do' then I pounce and wrestle around a bit more then run around the house a little bit. Then they go drink out of the toilet, after that I don't kiss them for awhile.

I "kiss" my cat and my parents' cats...but I just touch the tip of my nose to their heads/noses/bellies/etc. and make a kissing noise. I don't put my mouth on them.

Of course! I kissed my cat Lump-A-Lot one time and realized she had left a present for us outside the door when my parents had let her in. Cats love to bring their treats to you. Well..needless to say that ended my affair with the cat permanently. But I do love her oh so much!

Since dogs like their own ass, and any other ass that come within reach. They are not going to be licking my face...

I kiss my dog and my cat often. The only problem I ever got out of kissing animals was as a kid when I kissed our horses - uhoh! But I loved them onwards, anyway. I never kiss the lizard, and it seems pretty pointless on the fish, although their breathing looks kind of like they want to. Ha?

I have 5 cats....some of them like to give me a nose kiss, which I like, a couple of them back off when I put my face in their face though....they can't take it! :lol: . I love them all, and when they touch my nose with their nose, it makes me feel good, wanted. :love:

I've had plenty of animals that I've kissed.

I used to have a orange cat that looked like garfield, he loved to push his face against mine. No other cat I've had ever did that or liked when I did that.

I've had a sun conure that loved to kiss. I think the bird liked my saliva as it would try to stick its tongue inside my lips. Sounds gross doesn't it?

My ex-girlfriend's cocker spaniel was always putting it's tongue all over me. Especially my face, if I would stick my tongue toward her she would try and reach it with her mouth. The dog also would lay with us on the couch and spend hours licking my gfs legs. I think it was the lotion she wore..

And most recently I adopted a yellow and white guinea pig named butter, as it looks kind of like a stick of butter. I sometimes rub my nose on it's face. Very soft and surprisingly personable rodent.

Heh! I have a cat named "Butter" .....same reason, she's that yellow and pure white taffy color....she is the most affectionate, "kissiest" of the lot. She lunges forward for face every time it's offered, and makes that high pitched "purp" sound when humanizing. :lol: I wish I had a dog too :( , but I can't afford a fence. I'd like some dog kisses.....:o

Is butter a he or a she? I guinea pigs!

I just do it symbolically by placing a hand over their head and kissing the back of my hand (while it's over their head). It's not as silly as it might sound.

If you've ever seen Boondock Saints one of the brothers kisses Rocco that way after he had just overcome that evil guy with a pool ball.

My new pup is a kisser (licker) and I am not particularly keen about dog spit. Just to see what the response would be, I kissed/licked Sadie on her nose, and she was startled/surprised. I don't intend to continue this experiment to determine her emotional response. :D

I will kiss, nuzzle, and snuggle with my dog--on HER bed, since she's not allowed into mine. Maybe that's not fair, but I'm Alpha so I get to decide what's fair and what isn't :P

hey can any 1 give me sum tips on how to teach ma 3 year old kelpie to play fetch ????? please

I kiss all my pets.(rabbit,guineapigs,hamster) I feel they can appreciate a kiss.but who knows?
I do not see it as any more insanitary or unhygeinic than kissin a human.:lol:

Yes! I kiss my baby kitty and he kisses me back. He's very cuddly. Awwww.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable kissing an animal. I have no problem letting our cat sleep at my feet during the night. Sometimes when I get up early I'll cover her with the blanket. If I do that she'll usually sleep for hours though.

I always kiss my cat, she's so damn cute. Further to that, I had a cat I would share my ice cream cones with, it disgusted my roomate but I think that is one of my more treasured cat memories.
Obviously cat siliva is not an issue for me.
But I wouldn't even think of doing that with a dog. YUK.

I didn't need to know that...

I kiss my dog all the time. on the mouth. with or without tounge, its all good.
I don't worry about germs from her any more then I do from humans.

Butter is male.

Although he neutered, we were thinking of getting him a companion. Something we could name Popcorn.

oh of course I kiss my dog. I have a Welsh Corgi, he's my little champion. :cool:

I kiss my Bichon all the time. He's definitely a licker but all my kisses for him are closed mouth!

I let my dogs lick my face, but I don't kiss them back. What's the point? There's no enjoyment for me, and the dogs don't seems to get anything out of it.

I don't kiss Trinity as much as rub my face on her fur. So soft!

i kiss my lovebird and she does the same. As far as I can tell, she's clean, and if and when she smells, I bathe her one way or another.

I've yet to let a dog lick my face, but I just hate having my face licked anyway...

I kiss my kitty all the time on the nose and head...he's so cute and headbutts me for attention.

~~

My doggies get kisses on their noses and foreheads....although Victor is fast so I don't like to kiss him so much on the nose anymore haha
I let the dogs lick me on the cheek, not on the mouth.

My kitties I smoosh them ..but not too much...I've actually got a slight allergy to cats and if I go putting my face in their fur too much I regret it. When I go to bed Raven will walk right up to my face and put her nose on my nose for like a split second and I make the kissy noise. She licks her nose. So it's like a fake kiss? To me it is the sweetest thing.

nope, i dont know why, i just dont...

Absolutely I kiss my pets! 2 little doggies, a blonde colored yorkie / mini schnauser mix and my latest addition that is still a puppy is a black Brussels Griffon. They are both so adorable I couldn't pass up the kisses! :D Me luvs my babies!

Oh wow...I would love to see the Brussels....I have never seen a black one. My boss has a tan....They are cute little pups
