    She must have covered her face in tuna juice or something! I’ve never had this kind of experience. Some cats have licked my hand/fingers if I have some residue of cat food, margarine, etc. on them, but my face? Never, that I can remember. As far as it being “safe”, I don’t see why not. All living beings’ mouths do contain germs, but I have never experienced any adverse effects from letting my cats lick as described above, and I am careful to wash my hands before dealing with food, just as I would normally. Common sense would seem to be key here, as in all of life. It may be lacking in this society and these times, but that doesn’t make it wrong — that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

      Yikes jmuhj I will have to check my facial soap to make sure that there is no tuna juice in it. Don’t want that to be the reason Sir Hubble shampoos me and washes my face:)

    Cat saliva is acidic and their tongue is like sand paper.. I believe it is just like a facial. I let them lick me when they want, but not on the lips and not on the eyes. 🙂

    i really like this article – one of your best.

    gooie [the maine coon] thinks that mommie’s hair needs to be groomed on a regular basis.

    teddy [part maine coon] thinks that mommie’s face needs to be licked for hours each day.

    lena [teddy’s brother] thinks that presenting his back side to mommie’s nose is acceptable each day.
