Is it dangerous to kiss a cat?

Person kissing a kitten

Are you one of those who kisses your cat? If so, you are not the only one! I love to hold them in my arms and fill them with kisses. Of course, after a while they get tired and start to move in such a way that I have no choice but to leave them on the ground; yes, until later.

If a furry person receives affection from the first day he comes home and is treated with respect, he will be an animal that will enjoy the caresses and company of his human. But, Is it dangerous to kiss a cat?

Today there are still many people who are convinced that kissing a cat is not only dangerous but could kill you, which is not true at all. There are many who kiss cats and are still here, in good health. But, yes, there are a few things to keep in mind.

You should not kiss a sick cat, for obvious reasons, nor should you give it a kiss if we are the ones with delicate health at the moment. Nor should you kiss a cat that is not dewormed, both internally and externally.. Zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted to us), such as ringworm, cat fever, or certain bacteria such as salmonella or e-coli, are rare, but we have to use common sense.

Cat with human

Living with a cat implies taking care of it as it really deserves. Only in this way can we make her happy. That's why If you have the need or the urge to kiss him, or two or three, do not hesitate to give him as long as you know that he is healthy, and it better be away from the mouth. That is a way that humans have to show love, and in time the cat will understand it, especially if we first brush the nose and then kiss it, since the furry ones we have at home kiss each other like that, brushing their nose with the other cat's.

And you, do you give kisses to your four-legged friend?
