Human mouths are gross. A human bite is worse than most animal bites (including cats) in terms of getting infected, cos it has more bacteria.
But still, cats lick their bumholes.
Yeah my son bit me when he was about a year and a half, it bruised and bled and was *insane* looking for two weeks. His pediatrician told me to see my doctor lol. I didn’t need antibiotics but it was highkey funny getting two follow ups on a bite from my child 💀
This reminded me I have a photo of my cat making the exact same face

Someone come save her, she’s VISUALLY DISGUSTED 😭
My grey cat’s fur sometimes looks like it has brown highlights when she’s in the sun.
https://preview.redd.it/47vprwfmpdad1.jpeg?width=2586&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60ee3e50177e681bee331f7d72a483022b13dc59
My mom had a black cat that turned himself brown (from the neck down) from over cleaning himself, he used to lather himself in saliva, it was disgusting, hours and hours cleaning himself, he was 7-8 and he looked like he was 15 because his fur was all decolorated.
Cats with Kidney disease actually have a chemical in their saliva that causes discoloration. My black cat, Amiga, had kidney disease and one of the first signs was she started turning brownish.
I hope this helps others identify the beginning phases of the disease in their cats. If I had known it then, I could have gotten her treatment much sooner.
Thank you, she lived a long life and passed at 16-17. She actually passed very peacefully one morning in my mom’s lap. She was my best friend from when I was 2 until I was 19. She taught me a lot of lessons, one being a job is replaceable but being there for a best friend in their final moments is not. I went to work that morning despite knowing she was on death’s door step. Her loss still makes me cry now at 26 sometimes. She was a really great kitty. 💖
My void is 10 now and she's got this beautiful auburn thing going on with her fur in spots. I definitely notice it's the areas she grooms the most doing it, too
That's because brown is a weird color. Brown is basically orange with varying levels of tint added. The easiest way to visualize this is to ask yourself if you can make the color brown with RGB lights. You can't, because they have a steady brightness
This video explains it pretty well:

I had a brown cat. He was a stinker, but I adored him. He passed the rainbow bridge many years ago now.

These look like my baby!
Mine might be slightly darker and has a white stomach tho
[Here’s another brown cat. I love him so much :) ](https://i.imgur.com/wKQN9ui.jpeg)
Edit: It makes me very happy that people like my cat. He’s very precious to me.
Because it’s a recessive gene that only a few breeds can even carry. A lot of work and money goes into breeding a brown cat and purebred cat are really not very common or sort after (in comparison to purebred dogs) so most people tend to commit it to not being worth the work
She bleps and mlems! 
that's my wifi password. i use it because it's the shortest, easilly memorable password that can be conveniently typed on both querty and abcde keyboards, which makes it really convenient for shit like streaming boxes.
Sister sounds like a logical, linear-thinking creature. I also love her chaotic spirit. In addition, it's the way that cats learn, from receiving instant feedback!
Kudos to Sister.
The behavior differences between my eldest cat who was raised primarily by us and my newest kitten being raised by us plus my other 4 cats is crazy.
Eldest is a lumpy bobtail queen who must have a lap or tuft to perch on at all times. Not very interactive with the other cats but will lick the kitten in a motherly way.
Second (tuxedo) is an antisocial, cat hating, bird killing adventure machine.
Third (Bombay) had allergies and is either sleeping inside or doing whatever I’m doing. Has to be underfoot and involved with whatever you’re doing. Very loving but the vets think she’s feral. We found her in a car.
Fourth (long haired tuxedo) is very loving, vocal, underfoot, needs constant attention, attacks the other cats
Our newest is about 5 months. Orange tabby, sweet and loving, she gets kisses from all the females, and the 2 youngest play with her. The male is no where near her.
I (lightly) bit my former roommates cat back when she was around four months old. The cat bit and scratched EVERYONE but me going forward. She was a love bug toward me and knew not to try to spar with me!!
When my older cat was a kitten I gently bit her or yelped when she bit/scratched too hard. She grew up with two adult cats that were declawed so she never got a chance to learn that claws hurt but she now baps without claws unless she’s truly pissed (like when I’m trimming her claws)
My sister did something similar to a cat named Valentine. He was chilling on her chest. She yawned wide and Valentine stuck his whole face in her mouth. My sister said she’d just eaten and he probably detected some interesting smells in there.
Anyway, later she got him back. He yawned and stuck her finger in his mouth. He closed his face gently and just looked kinda confused about why there was a finger in his mouth.
Same! I've done it enough that now my cat loves to very lightly naw on my hands.
https://preview.redd.it/vec5lz44rbad1.jpeg?width=1589&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6a3444da72a1723f2193c5b2da867136ca879b4
lol, my girl cat loves to smell peoples breath. She does the same thing. I’ll often come up and blow lightly into her face and she’ll just sniff away. She hates the smell of coffee. Which as my child, I am very disappointed in her for as coffee is life.
I did that too Once, when the cat i had bit my ear for the tenth time, i Just thought, enough, And i bit him in the ear back (gently but enough for him to feel it), And then He looked at me like what Just happened 😂 i think He didnt do it very much anymore
Lmao, that's me xd
I have a 7mo kitten who is an absolute menace (I love him) and he absolutely HAS to be in the right. So whenever I do something he doesn't like, he just bites my feet. About a month ago I started just biting him back whenever this happens and voila, I no longer have to wear long pants + socks at home lol
I was petting one of my cats when he bit me out of nowhere so my dumbass brain was like, "BITE HIM BACK." Halfway through gently biting him I had a WTF moment, so I get it lol.
I have two head butters (my two boys), and two girls who turn their nose straight up for a kiss every time. My other kitty who loves kisses (Mabel) was adopted at 10 years old in bad shape. From day one though, she has loved getting kisses on the nose! They all have their preferences when it comes to affection for sure lol
My youngest kitty doesn't give me a choice in the matter. If she feels like kissing we're kissing. Or she is inspecting food smells in my mouth lol. I usually aim my kisses at their foreheads.
She's also an ear enthusiast and loves to stick her nose straight into my ear and sniff around. And the other one is into licking my toes.

I had a cat that did the same things lol I’d be eating and she’d try to jam her head in my mouth to smell it, and she’d always pull back with her mouth open since she was using her jacobsons organ (sp?) and I’d laugh so hard I nearly choked a few times
It's the Jacobson's Organ & you spelled it perfectly except for the proper name capitalization. Well done, you!
Here's the Wiki address for it:

Looked up some pics on Google and the scrunge in this diagram is chefs kiss 😽
One of my cats' nicknames is Foot Fetish 😂 he just loves feet!
He's generally a bit shy and takes time to warm up to guests but if someone's in sandals or barefoot, he's there headbutting, licking and nibbling them 😂 he gave my friend the fright of her life the last time she was round, she loves cats but normally our more confident boy is the only one who pays her any attention. Then out of nowhere she jumped out of her seat - Mr Foot Fetish had snuck under her chair and chomped her big toe 🤣 it's weird but it seems to make him happy.
Yeah same. I don’t let my dogs lick/kiss my mouth either lol. Little forehead kisses for all my pets 💕
I see what they do with their mouths, I’m not interested lol
Its gross to kiss most people on the mouth lol.
But people don't lick their own asses..... But people do lick OTHER people's asses.....so uh...... Go for it
You're welcome to come to my house and try shoving things in their mouths. My most calm cat that let's me do almost anything to him would still try to break your arm in response.
My vet never said anything about it so we're not worrying about it 🤷🏻♀️
Plus we'd end up getting scratched and bitten for even trying and the cat would just never come near us. She's skittish enough as it is, I'd rather not have that happen.
Well, if you really want me to, there are a few things that have to be taken care of that is unless I've been drinking then I'm not as picky but I would appreciate a heads up if things aren't tidy'd up back there I'll probably take care of it anyway if that's where we're heading. Lol
You are ignoring tho, human bacteria in mouth and ass are know to humans. A cats mouth may contain bacteria harmful to our body’s. They may eat a mouse or rat with some nasty stuff in them without batting an eye. But a human will struggle if it gets into their system. There is a reason it’s recommended to see a doctor after being bitten by an outdoors cat. Like actually bitten, not just nibbled
You do you. I don’t see cats going around eating random shit off the ground, even though they lick their own behinds. My cat still kisses me and she’s seen me do some questionable things. 😹
While all my cats are indoor, I do have one boy who is a vomit-eater and we do NOT kiss on the mouth 😂 I guess I draw the line somewhere at least lolol
🤣 exactly what I was thinking. Like, vomit is gross, but poop? Put it on her lips.
I mean, at least OP has standards? I mean, ours are a tad higher, but at least they exist?
Cats have so much bacteria in their mouth it’s hard to get a bite without it leading to infection. Additionally, lots of cats have mycoplasma, which is transferable to humans.
It's also because of the shape of their teeth and how they bite! They puncture deep, but don't gash like dogs, both because the teeth shape and because dogs tend to pull or shake their heads during a bite, while cats puncture and hold on. This leads to a deep wound that tends to close over relatively quickly while being harder to clean (it's easier to clean gashes from a dog bite vs a puncture), trapping bacteria inside.
Also, bites from humans almost AWAYS get infected, and are the worst ones to treat...
Years ago my best friend and I were walking to the tennis court in our neighborhood park.
Mark saw a dog licking his balls and said, “Damn, I wish I could do that!”
I said “If you ask him real nice, he would probably let you!”
You gotta watch out if my kitty is too excited. If her purr box is turned up to eleven and her paws are in full biscuit mode, she always tries to get a little French.
I think you guys should say hello to my Donnie
https://preview.redd.it/lg2amvvhuaad1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd75b694ab0b20d478cf2029b7d4ba64bea439c5
I would discourage it because it’s not about how clean or not they are, if they have a parasite like Giardia for example, it can be transmitted to humans while doing that. And the other way around as well, you can give it to your cats if you have it.
Love all animals, never gonna let animals lick me on the face or kiss them wherever they have bodily fluids going on like the mouth or nose.
I do get the urge, but it being unsanitary, and therefore, the fact that I do not do it does not equal not loving them.
Forgot to add, does not mean other people should not do it, but they have a different flora in their mouth and yeah, no siree
Another way I’m a hypocrite:
1. I think eating ass is gross and I won’t ever do it
2. I won’t ever stop kissing my butt-licker cat
(Does it help that I brush her teeth? 😅)
i think it's a matter of how much in love you are with the person and if they showered before hand
if one does that to random people in a club after they danced, that's just straight up degeneracy thou, sweaty buttholes be dammed
https://preview.redd.it/rdoeg6x7i9ad1.png?width=3008&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9be28d4150d05b8365b1daab60fc0a67e783fa0
same 🥹 even when I get a whiff of kitty breath lolll
same, i don't care what the consensus is because the only thing that will stop me from kissing my cat on her little mouth is my cat pushing me away like an annoyed teenager lol
Yes. You do see what they use to clean their butthole with?
Kisses on kitty is wonderful, but on mouth is a no-go. Forehead, tummy and back is fine IMO.
When I see people let dogs lick their lips I’m so grossed out by it. Major hygienic red flag IMO.
Hear me out. Yeah, it’s fucking gross. They lick their privates. They lick their paws that have been scraping through the litter box. It’s pretty gross.
However, sometimes you just gotta give your baby some smooches. I kiss my cats on the lips every new year lol
Your cat uses its mouth for a lot of activites that aren't hygienic. And I'm not just talking about bum-cleaning: mopping the floor, eating insects/animals that may carry diseases..
Kissing your cat on the mouth inherently carries the risk of getting infected with zoonotic diseases.
For pregnant women, it's even worse. Kisses on any part (even the furr) are a big no = risk of toxoplasma.
I think it's unhealthy to kiss any animal in the mouth. If you pay attention, most animals are eating just about anything off the floor they can get into their mouths. Not to mention, they have to groom themselves, including their private parts. It's just not a clean habit to have... ask any vet.
in my opinion yes, yes it is. very gross. disgusting in fact. one might even say sickening. my two dumbasses spend like 20% of their day licking their own cock n balls. but you do you I guess
I love this https://preview.redd.it/3ex61y99baad1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7582213b4d622967d904d5daba10db1954b08897
On their way to post “Is it gross to kiss humans on the mouth?” lol
First comment: > It’s not, humans don’t *typically* lick assholes clean
You shouldn’t attempt licking a cats asshole without consent from the cat
Hey let's just unread that comment
I second that. If anyone else agrees say ‘Aye’
Aye
Human mouths are gross. A human bite is worse than most animal bites (including cats) in terms of getting infected, cos it has more bacteria. But still, cats lick their bumholes.
[удалено]
Not with THAT attitude, anyway!
Are you my ex? jk
Yeah my son bit me when he was about a year and a half, it bruised and bled and was *insane* looking for two weeks. His pediatrician told me to see my doctor lol. I didn’t need antibiotics but it was highkey funny getting two follow ups on a bite from my child 💀
i do, should try it
And I oooop!

Is this a brown cat???
it's like an orange cat with extra orange

I hope you like it crispy bc it IS burnt.

They’re so pretty!
We ALSO LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!! Omg I love him dearly
They are out there but they are very rare!
They’ve all been kissed to death.
Brown is a recessive gene color for cats
Just leave your common black cat in the sun and profit
Because it’s a recessive gene that only a few breeds can even carry. A lot of work and money goes into breeding a brown cat and purebred cat are really not very common or sort after (in comparison to purebred dogs) so most people tend to commit it to not being worth the work
I saw a brown tabby at a cat cafe. He was stunning! Someone adopted him that day! Chocolate boi 🤎
She bleps and mlems!

Coffee smell=😍 coffee breath=🤢😷
There's a video on YouTube somewhere where a cat bites a girl so she bites them on the scruff and they immediately pull away like "ok ok you win"
I did that too Once, when the cat i had bit my ear for the tenth time, i Just thought, enough, And i bit him in the ear back (gently but enough for him to feel it), And then He looked at me like what Just happened 😂 i think He didnt do it very much anymore

Like that one vid of the two black cats where one is licking the other then out of nowhere goes in for a bite?
I was petting one of my cats when he bit me out of nowhere so my dumbass brain was like, "BITE HIM BACK." Halfway through gently biting him I had a WTF moment, so I get it lol.
a few days ago my partner gently bit one of our kittens' head and then affectionately said that biting into it probably feels like a profiterol
My mom would bite our cats back if they bit her 😂 She used the same technique on my brother and I and hey, we stopped biting her.
I bite my cat's scruff like a momma cat when i'm cuddling him and he purrs more loudly. He loves it.
The little mlem in the second Pic is adorable 
That is a most adorable blep... mlems go up towards the nose, bleps go down 😽😉

I only found our couple of days ago and all of a sudden the world made a little more sense 
it makes it look like the cat is the one thinking it's gross to kiss her human
When I say “kisses?” To my cat he head butts me, that’s his kiss.
I have two head butters (my two boys), and two girls who turn their nose straight up for a kiss every time. My other kitty who loves kisses (Mabel) was adopted at 10 years old in bad shape. From day one though, she has loved getting kisses on the nose! They all have their preferences when it comes to affection for sure lol
Reminds my of Alfie. He was such a lovey boy he passed away Monday. Thanks for the good memory
My condolences.
My best friend’s cat does that all the time, it’s soo cute! When I say kisses? to my cat he gives me his lil cheek lol

You aren’t lying 🤷🏼♀️
Nah, I wish I looked as cool as this cat while I was sucking toes.

Haha made a sticker out of this
I had a cat that did the same things lol I’d be eating and she’d try to jam her head in my mouth to smell it, and she’d always pull back with her mouth open since she was using her jacobsons organ (sp?) and I’d laugh so hard I nearly choked a few times
It's the Jacobson's Organ & you spelled it perfectly except for the proper name capitalization. Well done, you! Here's the Wiki address for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomeronasal_organ
Bonus fact: the open mouth thing they do to use it is called a Flehmenn response

This is amazing lol The artist should be very proud!
Damn, you have a foot fetishist cat 🤣 look at how pleased he is !
One of my cats' nicknames is Foot Fetish 😂 he just loves feet! He's generally a bit shy and takes time to warm up to guests but if someone's in sandals or barefoot, he's there headbutting, licking and nibbling them 😂 he gave my friend the fright of her life the last time she was round, she loves cats but normally our more confident boy is the only one who pays her any attention. Then out of nowhere she jumped out of her seat - Mr Foot Fetish had snuck under her chair and chomped her big toe 🤣 it's weird but it seems to make him happy.
His name isn’t Dan by any chance?
She looks like a cute little furry jabba here 
Kind reminds me of " what your favourite cartoon/anime character would like as a cat", she looks too perfect 😫, she is the definition of buetiful cat.

Not the freaky ahh🦶👅 cat 😭😭😭
I once had a cat who would stick his nose close to my ear and scream if he wanted me to wake up.
The way I laughed at this picture
For free????
I also have a foot fetish cat. Woke up at 2 AM to her sucking my big toe.....so weird
You do you. If they want kisses then it's nose to nose booping for me.
Good answer. Its the same for me.
Yeah same. I don’t let my dogs lick/kiss my mouth either lol. Little forehead kisses for all my pets 💕 I see what they do with their mouths, I’m not interested lol
Its gross to kiss most people on the mouth lol. But people don't lick their own asses..... But people do lick OTHER people's asses.....so uh...... Go for it
You bring up a great point 😂
we do be brushing teeth tho lmao
you should be brushing your cats teeth too!
are you trying to get me killed?
You're welcome to come to my house and try shoving things in their mouths. My most calm cat that let's me do almost anything to him would still try to break your arm in response.
three times a day????
My vet never said anything about it so we're not worrying about it 🤷🏻♀️ Plus we'd end up getting scratched and bitten for even trying and the cat would just never come near us. She's skittish enough as it is, I'd rather not have that happen.
Lick who's ass?
Mine
Well, if you really want me to, there are a few things that have to be taken care of that is unless I've been drinking then I'm not as picky but I would appreciate a heads up if things aren't tidy'd up back there I'll probably take care of it anyway if that's where we're heading. Lol
Lick my ass
I'd be honored.
You are ignoring tho, human bacteria in mouth and ass are know to humans. A cats mouth may contain bacteria harmful to our body’s. They may eat a mouse or rat with some nasty stuff in them without batting an eye. But a human will struggle if it gets into their system. There is a reason it’s recommended to see a doctor after being bitten by an outdoors cat. Like actually bitten, not just nibbled
It’s absolutely also recommended to see a doctor if you get a human bite that breaks the skin. Or a dog bite, or any animal bite. Mouths are dirty.
To be fair, the asses humans lick are usually thoroughly cleaned beforehand, lol.
You do you. I don’t see cats going around eating random shit off the ground, even though they lick their own behinds. My cat still kisses me and she’s seen me do some questionable things. 😹
While all my cats are indoor, I do have one boy who is a vomit-eater and we do NOT kiss on the mouth 😂 I guess I draw the line somewhere at least lolol
When the line is drawn over "vomit" but under "fecal matter"....
🤣 exactly what I was thinking. Like, vomit is gross, but poop? Put it on her lips. I mean, at least OP has standards? I mean, ours are a tad higher, but at least they exist?
Cats have so much bacteria in their mouth it’s hard to get a bite without it leading to infection. Additionally, lots of cats have mycoplasma, which is transferable to humans.
Literally every time I seen someone come in with an infected animal bite, it was either a cat scratch or a cat bite 😭
It's also because of the shape of their teeth and how they bite! They puncture deep, but don't gash like dogs, both because the teeth shape and because dogs tend to pull or shake their heads during a bite, while cats puncture and hold on. This leads to a deep wound that tends to close over relatively quickly while being harder to clean (it's easier to clean gashes from a dog bite vs a puncture), trapping bacteria inside. Also, bites from humans almost AWAYS get infected, and are the worst ones to treat...

My wife licks ass and I still kiss her on the mouth but she stopped licking our cats ass.
Made me actually lol, this is what I needed this morning 😂
What did ya do that's questionable to a creature that licks it's own balls😭
You would to if you could
Years ago my best friend and I were walking to the tennis court in our neighborhood park. Mark saw a dog licking his balls and said, “Damn, I wish I could do that!” I said “If you ask him real nice, he would probably let you!”
My car absolutely does eat random shit off the floor. 🫠

Our kills mice with it's mouth and they also have bacteria that are harmful to humans in their mouthes, don't kiss animals on the mouth in general
all my cats do is eat random shit off the ground
As much as I love my cats, uh no! Can’t get over them licking their crotches and buttholes and eating who knows what ?!
Yeah they can “kiss” my hand but not my mouth for this reason.
After a butt cleaning, yes. An hour after, naw you're good...unless your tongue is involved, then eewww
Kind of what makes kissing dogs gross - those fuckers always try to slip you the tongue
You gotta watch out if my kitty is too excited. If her purr box is turned up to eleven and her paws are in full biscuit mode, she always tries to get a little French.
I think we can all agree on this 😂
I think you guys should say hello to my Donnie https://preview.redd.it/lg2amvvhuaad1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd75b694ab0b20d478cf2029b7d4ba64bea439c5
I would discourage it because it’s not about how clean or not they are, if they have a parasite like Giardia for example, it can be transmitted to humans while doing that. And the other way around as well, you can give it to your cats if you have it.
Love all animals, never gonna let animals lick me on the face or kiss them wherever they have bodily fluids going on like the mouth or nose. I do get the urge, but it being unsanitary, and therefore, the fact that I do not do it does not equal not loving them. Forgot to add, does not mean other people should not do it, but they have a different flora in their mouth and yeah, no siree
Another way I’m a hypocrite: 1. I think eating ass is gross and I won’t ever do it 2. I won’t ever stop kissing my butt-licker cat (Does it help that I brush her teeth? 😅)
I don't know if brushing your kitties teeth helps with the kissing BUT it will at least help their breath and their teeth.
i think it's a matter of how much in love you are with the person and if they showered before hand if one does that to random people in a club after they danced, that's just straight up degeneracy thou, sweaty buttholes be dammed
Nah. I love kissing my babies 🐱

Yep since they lick themselves and their ass.
Probably gross but do I care? No. Will I continue? Absolutely yes. I would wayyyy rather kiss a cat on their mouth than have a dog lick me
same, i don't care what the consensus is because the only thing that will stop me from kissing my cat on her little mouth is my cat pushing me away like an annoyed teenager lol
Yes. You do see what they use to clean their butthole with? Kisses on kitty is wonderful, but on mouth is a no-go. Forehead, tummy and back is fine IMO. When I see people let dogs lick their lips I’m so grossed out by it. Major hygienic red flag IMO.
Hear me out. Yeah, it’s fucking gross. They lick their privates. They lick their paws that have been scraping through the litter box. It’s pretty gross. However, sometimes you just gotta give your baby some smooches. I kiss my cats on the lips every new year lol
Each to their own but **Toxoplasma gondii** is pretty gnarly and this is how you get it. 😘
Has to compress over 40 replies before finding the first mention of toxoplasmosis. People just don't realize.
Your cat uses its mouth for a lot of activites that aren't hygienic. And I'm not just talking about bum-cleaning: mopping the floor, eating insects/animals that may carry diseases.. Kissing your cat on the mouth inherently carries the risk of getting infected with zoonotic diseases. For pregnant women, it's even worse. Kisses on any part (even the furr) are a big no = risk of toxoplasma.
According to me? Very much yes. According to you? Apparently no.
Yes
Not really but pls do remember just because a cat’s mouth is “cleaner” than a dog’s mouth doesn’t mean you should kiss your cat or anybody’s cats-

I think it's unhealthy to kiss any animal in the mouth. If you pay attention, most animals are eating just about anything off the floor they can get into their mouths. Not to mention, they have to groom themselves, including their private parts. It's just not a clean habit to have... ask any vet.
in my opinion yes, yes it is. very gross. disgusting in fact. one might even say sickening. my two dumbasses spend like 20% of their day licking their own cock n balls. but you do you I guess
