I have Doctor DoLittle syndrome where random cats and dogs would follow me. Dog would jump and lick me but Cats would always rub against me but they also do a nose bump to my face. I never knew why though. :marijaonlooker:

I have the same issue. It’s usually pretty much a question of stance and behavior. Well, not exactly an issue since I like cats but that’s pretty much the reason. Hell, even cats that are borderline feral tone it down with me.

I’d make a killing if I worked at a shelter really. But that ain’t for me.

No. They have parasites that can infect your brain.

Cats, nature's sedative. Not even cats have cat like reflexes, that's just a myth.

Put a mouse (the rodent kind) in front of one and you'll see things change quickly.

Heh, mine just give it a few jab to see if it’s moving then it just stare at it. Pretty much leaving it alone.

But a cat that goes outside all the time would probably murder the poor thing and bring it to his owner as a gift.

I never gotten sick from touching, nose rubbing or kissing my cats.

If your cats are indoor you will be safe. Whatever they touch you do touch as well.

If the cats are outdoor, then it does pay to be more careful when handling them.

you know that human saliva is more dangerous than the one of any other mammal? Your kiss is way more dangerous for the cat than the cat kiss is for you

Try Komodo Dragon saliva. Nvm you said mammal ok you win. But anyways Both salivas are potentially dangerous for cats and humans.

Turns out they actually have venomous saliva. Not sure if it is toxic by ingestion however, as most chemicals classified as "venom" are inert when digested.

Actually it's apparently a mix of venom and bacterias.

Almost reported you by accident lmao. Rain + touch screen don’t mix welll. XD

Are you sure Komodo dragons are venomous? I remember reading that it’s not really venom but they basicly are carrying an insane amount of bacteria in their salive that are harmful.

Unless my memory is playing games

Nevermind a friend replied. Appearantly what I read was a pre-2018 misinformation

If you are talking about toxoplasmosis, around half of the world's population already got the parasite that causes it. While the intended final target are cats, lots of people get it, and the majority not because of cats, but because of contaminated foods.

Compared to the hygiene practices in farms in the developing world, kissing a cat is nothing. You do know farmers quite often just do it on the field, both kinds, mind you. Do not forget to wash your veggies really well.

You do realise they clean their ass with the same tongue they use to clean everything else?

Yeah but there's a stark difference between kissing your cats and tonguing the little fuclers, isn't there?

I don't think we were going down THAT route?

Well, I missed that comment, but he was talking about cats licking the hole, and then licking the rest of the fur. I get that point.

There is some reasoning behind that point. At first I always washed my hands after touching my cats. However, there is no difference between that and them lying on their butts on your bedding, sofa, etc, and after a while, I just opened up. Also, better good hygiene than poop being stuck and dragged around, and ending up on the floor or worse; which has happened.

Lance would definitely freak out if he had a cat like mine, she absolutely adores licking my hands lol.

Especially when eating Cheetos. Even cats like the taste of junk food lol.

Ah but the thing is where do you draw the line?

EVERYTHING has fecal matter onit to some extent. I suggest you go watch the mythbusters e[pisode with toothbrushes in toilets.

The point is if you're THAT worried about there being minute fractions of fecal matter on thei rfur then you should equally be wrroedi about the same being on BRAND NEW toothbrushes.
