I didn't grow up with pets since my mother was allergic, but started working in a pet hotel when I was 18. Before this I had been around cats, but not often at all. My first year working at the pet hotel a gorgeous long hair tuxedo stayed with us. His name was Oreo. It was my first time that I ever held a cat. He just jumped in my arms and I just remember feeling shocked, panicked and extremely happy. Then he started licking my hair and licked my neck. I had never been licked by a cat before or even knew they had tongues like that. It was one of the coolest and strangest moments ever, but it made me fall in love with cats more than I already did. Just wanted to share my first kitty kisses experience.

(Cat in the photo was my baby who I couldn't keep because my mom is allergic, he is now happy in his new home with his kitty siblings and humans)

does that mean I’m dirty?

He wanted to return the favor since I regularly clean his nose too.

I can't blame her. I love having my fat belly rubbed too!!

She will keep going for a VERY long time if you don't stop her.

My pet will groom anyone that pets him. And FYI, the vet says he’s okay! (other than being chonky and in need of a lil bit of diet) He’s just like that, even when we’re not petting him, he groom us and beg for pet by shoving his butt to our face, lol.

She loves my husband more than anything.
