Veterinarians warn that kissing a cat, even if it has just been washed, you can’t put it in your face. Otherwise, a person runs the risk of contracting various infections. Including bacterial infection, ringworm, rabies, salmonellosis, felinosis, toxoplasmosis.

It is especially dangerous to kiss cats for pregnant women, children, and HIV-infected people. There have already been cases when a pregnant woman had a miscarriage after kissing a cat.

In addition, scientists have found that cats do not like to be kissed. Animals simply do not understand what is happening at this moment, so they begin to get nervous. When stressed, a pet may even begin to hiss and scratch.

Zoologists recommend looking at it and blinking slowly to express love for a cat. She may also enjoy stroking along the fur line. And if you wet a toothbrush and run it over the fur, then your pet will have the feeling that he is being licked, which is also one of the manifestations of love.
