Hi everybody,
I've had cats all my life with a lot of different personalities but my new rescue kitten, Willie, is a lot more affectionate than any other cat I've had. A little bit of background info, Willie is around 13-14 weeks right now and he still has remnants of a very bad cold that nearly killed him. The vet seems to think that he will always have a runny nose because the treatment we've given him just doesn't seem to work.
Despite his runny nose, he's doing very well and has picked up over 50% of his original weight when I first got him. I know that we can't get ill from his cold, but I was wondering if we could get some other nasty illness from him licking us, ...uhh ....very intimately. Willie likes to grab hold of you by the face and then proceeds to try and lick inside your nose. If you move your head or try to avoid it, he'll reward you with a nice bite on the tip of your nose. He also likes to lick our lips(slips a tongue in ever so often) and tries to suckle our earlobes. Chin grooming is also a favorite passtime especially grooming my husbands goatee and if he moves, *bite*.
Do any of your cats like to groom you in the nose? Is his mouth a germ factory we should keep away from our faces?
Thanks!
