For those without cat allergies:

Are you willing to put your hands behind your back, and then put your face against your cat or kiss him or her on the head, knowing that he or she will not hurt you?


With most of my cats, I am - and I do all the time. They just give me head love and would never, ever hurt me. With one of my cats, Thumper, NO WAY! She has a terrible mean streak in her that runs in her family. Sometimes she can be very sweet, but it isn't a good idea to trust her too much.

Ivo usually ducks away, but will let me kiss her neck or even her feet if they are sticking out (except for one back paw which for some reason she HATES to have touched).

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Of course I'd trust my cats with my life and I know they feel the same way! Twig has a mean streak too but I'd still lean down and kiss him on the nose and then he'd bite my lip like he sometimes does. But he doesn't bite to hard so I'm not to worried about that. I adore my cats, heck they share(share ha! they OWN) everything I have so I give them the trust they give to me!

Movin' on up!
Rowdy is an ornery little cuss but, she'd never hurt anyone intentionally. As for Opie and Buddy, they are very mild-mannered fellows.

Yes with three of them. If I did that with Sasha he would jump on my head for a ride. LOL! He loves to be carried and jumps up whenever he gets the chance

Coco would run away wondering what in the world I was doing to her.
Berkley and Sterling would give me kitty kisses and head butts

All of my boys expect a kiss from mommy but then they act like they want to wipe it off...

Oh, yes! All of them don't necessarily like kisses, but they wouldn't slap or bite at me. Georgia likes to touch me with her paws. She touches me very gently, claws in, when she wants my attention or when she is being sweet. She will touch me, then turn her little head to the side. It is SO cute.

I trust my cats completely, and I do the same thing to them everyday. That is one of our displays of affection, when I put my face near them they start rubbing my face with their face. It swells my heart with love everytime they do this. Every now and then Baby Girl will take her paw and lightly touch my face, it is so sweet.

My "kid" Patches usually runs away when I try to give her a kiss
....but my "half kid" Tiger lets me kiss her all the time... But my roomie dosnt like it when I kiss her or pet her too much
... Cause she says Tiger is "her" cat and only "her cat.

I kiss and hug and fuss on Trent all the time. He's so laid back, I can do just about anything to him because he trusts me so much. Ophelia, on the other hand....it only took her 3 years to allow me to kiss her once or twice on the head. She puts up with me doing it now, but I don't think she really enjoys it.

Absolutely! Although, I'm unsure how much he really enjoys it.
I figure it's a small price he must pay for living in kitty luxury.

Hehe I'm allergic and I trust my boys with all my soul.


Whenever I see them sleeping on the bed I always crawl up there and snuggle their tummy and rub my nose between their ears. None of them object and immediately start purring.


SOMETIMES Jake will try to duck out of the way but then when he finds out that I'm just trying to give kisses he lets me give them. Bastian intentionally headbutts me all the time with the LOUDEST purrs. When Drew wants the kisses he stands up on his hind legs and touches me with his front paws and squeeks at me.


I'm so in love with those three boys.

Absolutely. They are a very sweet and loving bunch! Tillie gets upset if we try to hold her, but otherwise, she is a little love, just like everyone else.

If I had to make a choice between my cats and my family members, I admit I'd pick my cats. They are the light of my life and the source of so much happiness and love.

I just tested the theory and kissed Indie on the head, he looked a bit perplexed and is slightly smelly I must admit!
