I've always wondered what pets thought of kisses. "Oh God they're tasting me!!! Oh whew I guess I'm not ready to be consumed"

I often think the same when my cats lick me.

I'm 99% sure that exchange is a real concern. Opportunistic little bastards.

Be honest, you would also feel awkward being picked up and kissed by a weird smelling giant multiple times a day

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno. How leggy is the giant?

That truly is my cat's biggest concern. She hates being held at all, but she does like being combed and petted as long as she happens to be in the mood for it.

What is your cat's opinion on being squished?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I value my skin too much to find out!

Don’t minimize that concern! One of my cats loathes being kissed, but has no problem trying to lick my nose off my face.

oh to be a tiny cat whose biggest concern is the looming threat of being gently picked up and kissed on the head.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

IF there is an all-seeing entity that oversees humans, then we are probably their tiny cats
