Who wouldn’t want to kiss a kitty when they have one? It may be very difficult to resist kissing your feline when all he/she does is being cute. Isn’t it? However, according to the veterinarians there may be potential dangers in handling your tabby closely. Hence, here we are with some quick tips on kissing your kitty that may not affect your health in a negative way!
- It is said that cats are actually more hygienic than humans. Their mouth may have as many bacteria as our mouth has. However they eat raw animals which may induce transmittable gum disease in humans. Thus it is advised not to kiss on your feline’s lips. Yes, even if they try to!
- If you have a higher immunity and your feline is free from parasites then a quick peck now and then may not pose any danger to your health. However people with lower immune power such as young children, pregnant female, etc. should stay away from felines.
- We all know how cats are totally different from dogs in terms of their moody attitude. Thus to maintain good relationship with your kitty you may need to consider time before kissing her/him. Kiss your felines when they are clam, relaxed and not snappy.
- If you do not think twice before getting cosy with your kitty and kiss is a normal thing for you then treating him/her with parasitic prevention on a regular basis should be your priority. So, stay on track with vaccinations!
- Maintain optimal oral hygiene of your felines. Try not to give a pass on brushing their teeth and regular dental checkups.
In all, kissing could be safe until you maintain your cat’s health and hygiene. Carelessness from your side may result in zoonoses. Ringworm, cat scratch fever, parasites, etc. are some of the diseases that could be transmitted through kissing kitties. Keep your kitty healthy to continue with the sloppy kisses!
