Cat who kisses people-anyone else have this?

damndest thing. What a lover cat.

she wakes me up at 4:00 in the morning. How do I break her of this? I
end up having to put her down but she runs right back for another lick.
HELP! :-)

of my mouth, she'll kiss me for a while---it's adorable. Luckily she
reserves this for when I'm awake too.

Banshee shoves his nose in my face and slobers. I hate it. He
also likes licking my face, which I don't mind as much except
when he licks the make-up off my eyes and when he tries licking
my lips. The way I see it, the only living creatures whose mouth
may touch mine is my boyfriend. But it is kinda cute, I must
admit.

Two of my cats will come up to me (while I'm awake *or* asleep) and
lick my lips and touch noses. :)
With cats, it's cute... with dogs, um... :-P

Both my cats, Melody and Harmony, show affection in this way. Melody will
cheerfully lick my face, my hand, or whatever she can reach (my SHINS
sometimes, when I'm wearing a skirt). Harmony tends to lick only my hand
or my arm, not my face. However, Harmony will also "rub foreheads" with me.
It was this trait that caught my attention in both of their cases when I
was looking to adopt two kittens from the local animal refuge. After 9
months of missing my first cat, the late, much-loved and much-lamented
Misty, I knew it was time for me to adopt again; I went to the animal
shelter in search of two kittens that I could raise together. Naturally,
when I got there I wanted to take ALL the cats home :) , but since that
was impossible I tried to focus on distinctive features of each kitty, so
that I could at least attempt to make a choice. When I'd met all the cats,
the two that stood out most for me were the two that had been licking my
hands as I held them. I'd found my cats! Adoption procedures were
initiated, and here we all are today. They're both 5 years old, and they
STILL lick to show affection; they never outgrew it. BTW, Melody and
Harmony are not from the same litter - Melody is two weeks older. I've
also wondered how common this tendency is (or isn't) for cats to behave
this way, so thanks for the opportunity to try and find out!

I brought him home, the series premiere of the new "Dark Shadows" came
on.
While bonding with the cat. He started licking my face, nose, and got
down to my neck. The next thing I know I'm Yelping when he bit me on the
neck! I looked down at him and said, "Barnabas, your name is Barnabas.
We called him boo boo for short.
Ground rules had to be made for visitors. Do not let the cat kiss you on
the face (except the nose) or neck as he will eventually bite. Hands
were okay as well.

years before he came to live in the house with us. Now he won't go out-
"been there-done that-". He is a vigorous head bumper and a avid kiss-
licker. He will "kiss" most any part of the body, usually when you are
not expecting it. He would also be willing to "shampoo" your hair and he
can get it quite wet actually...ICK! We, too, have wondered how many
kissers there are around.

Our cat, Morgan, frequently kisses. She has trained us to let her
down by licking the tip of our noses. The best kiss happened to my
husband. He was just waking up and Morgan was hovering around his
head. She went to kiss him and made tongue-to-tongue contact. Russ
said that was a bit too intimate for him, besides - its not a real
comfy. ;)

"Kissing" is a common way for cats to greet cats (and the people they
love). In with 'wild' you will often see two familiar cats touch noses.

on the forehead and eyebrows, but he'll also lick a nose if he can't
reach anywhere else. If I try to lift my head before he's finished,
he'll put his paw on top of my head to make me stay.

Almost every cat I've ever known liked to rub noses, whether with people
or fellow cats who were considered friends. Even one of the cats I'm
taking care of just for a week has given me a cold, wet kitty kiss :)
Mom once had a cat who thought it was RUDE for people to rub noses with
her. We kept forgetting and trying it and she would smack us in the face
with a front paw--one could almost hear a ringing Judith Martin-esque
"I beg your pardon!"

I have two cats both 2 years old and only one of them kisses. Stripes a orange
tabby kisses me whenever he wants to be petted or if he wants me to wake up.
The other cat doesn't like to be kissed or to kiss he doesn't even like it when
the other cat kisses him. So they are all different.

One of my cats, Chiclet, who is a female brown/orange tortoise shell, loves to
greet me when I've been gone. I put my face down towards hers and she rubs
all over me. She likes to rub her cold wet nose on my face (kisses) until she
gets so excited that she starts head butting me in the face and sticking her
nose right into mine!! Yeah, sounds gross, I know. It's as if she's trying
to stick her head into my nose (no, I don't have a large nose/nostrils). It's
pretty cute and I think it's just because she gets so excited that she goes a
little crazy!!

My cat, Chili, gives me kisses on the nose all the time and she is an
adult now. She will not do this to anyone else. She greets me with a
kiss, kisses me when she wants to be fed, or just because...Occasionally
she will nip my nose, and she has bitten my cheek too. I personally think
this is an oral fixation.

while she was still a little kitty I would give her a little kiss on
her mouth. After a while she just kind of took it as the natural way to

My cat Elijah does this too. Only to me though, and only if I make a

mingle their scents. I guess Eli figures I'm his mom. BTW he also does that

What I've always called kissing in Miko's case was touching the nose or
the lips with her wet nose. She stretches her neck to reach out, but
doesn't always kiss, just as you pout your lips she pulls back. What she
seems to like more is to be kissed. She pushes her head against your lips
time and time again, and purrs very happily.

up my leg in the mornings, and when I pick him up, his arms will go
around my neck (one on each side) and he'll start to nuzzle my
neck and ears! He'll do this just about every time you pick him up.
I've got a new kitten that has started to climb up on my chest and
neck in the mornings and try to nuzzle my neck. I figure they're
looking for a nipple, cause they "knead" their biscuits while they're
nuzzling and purring the whole time. It's really pretty cool.
Adam Culberson
I'm not too sure if this is kissing, but my new kitten P.J.(Who is now 5
months old), is the most cuddly cat I have ever seen. She comes when
called(Like a dog), which I find really neat. But also, if you are lying
down or sitting she will climb onto your chest and bring her face right up to
yours. First she gives what appears to be a wet kiss with her nose, but then
she will lick your chin, mouth and nose as if cleaning your face. She also
will lick your hands and then try to force her head under your hand as if she
wants you to clean her. And she purrs all the while. It's really cute
actually, but really annoying when you are trying to fall asleep. Anyone
know why my cat does these things?
