cathmom Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 We got a cat in March, the sixth cat I've ever had, and he gives kisses. We did not teach him to do this. He will actually press his mouth to my lips, although of course he doesn't pucker LOL. Does anyone else's cat do this? I've never seen it before!

Parrothead Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 No, but I get forehead hugs often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 That's cute! I wonder why he does that? Scent marking? They do have scent glands near their mouth. Maybe he thinks you belong to him. :001_smile: We have a dog that has a licking problem. He literally MUST lick, and whines and squirms around with his tongue making a snap snap snapping sound as he licks at the air while trying to get at you if not allowed to. Ugh. Animals are fun aren't they? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's Moon Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My kitty gives hugs. He is a big boy (19 lbs.) and the sweetest little boy. When ever I pick him up, he wraps both paws around to the back of my neck and will lay his head to one side. I don't know why, he just randomly began doing it a few months ago and we've had him for 8 years. I love it though, so not complaining :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Mine will touch her nose to my lips. I kinda wish she would do it to my nose instead, but she is so sweet and affectionate, I don't mind too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Mine likes to come up on my husband's chest or mine when one of us is sitting on a recliner and nuzzle our faces and sometimes try to sneak a few licks in and then curl up on our chests and go to sleep.

Tree House Academy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My 14 year old cat Blue (a blue point Siamese mix) does that. He is the most affectionate cat I have ever owned. :) I asked the vet about it once, because Blue also headbutts us and loves to rub against our faces and it is definitely a "scent-marking" thing.

laundrycrisis Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The kitty I grew up with really was not very affectionate, but if I was being still, she would come up and look right in my eyes and want to kiss me on the lips ! It always freaked me out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always freaked me out a little. She was half Siamese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yes, both of our cats give kisses. The older one is quite insistent and will stick her nose between me and whatever I am doing in order to get a kiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It is not uncommon for me to wake up with whiskers lodged between my teeth. :glare: I guess he goes in for the smooch while I'm sleeping, without realizing my mouth is half open.

nmoira Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not kisses like that, but our little cat (really, not much bigger than an 8 mo kitten) is an indiscriminate nose licker. And our big, blue, super-soft cat comes running whenever one of the children is upset to the point of tears and will attempt to wipe them off... think of a cat rubbing against your leg. She will then stand by and purr her enormous purr until said child is calm. I've never seen anything like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Mr. Meowgie gives fist bumps with his head:tongue_smilie:. That is the best way to describe it. He will also side swipe my head with the side of his face. This is definitely scent marking :D because he is convinced he owns me and the house for that matter. Small side rant: He also jumps up on the table and knock off anything in his path, on purpose. He will take his paw and bat off whatever *he* thinks doesn't belong. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna in Texas Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Our big male cat likes to rub his face on you and touch foreheads. The female is only affectionate with dh unless it's the wee hours of the morning, then I am a good substitute. She gets between us in the bed, puts her mouth to my nose and sticks one of her fangs in my nostril. And just sits there. It's sweet and bizarre. When the not-baby cries, she tries to comfort her by nibbling her nose and cheeks, and it usually works. I remember the first time she noticed the cat. She was about 3-weeks old and I was going to give her a proper bath. I got in first, dh handed me the baby, and our female cat nearly went crazy. Meowing and going back and forth on the edge of the tub. To this day, she always sits on the edge of the tub when it's bath time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
