One of these days I’m gonna get trenchmouth from the cats, I swear.
I suck Hankyspank’s ears. I rub my bottom lip on Big Mac’s toes. I kiss all the kitties at all times.
Your turn.

The worst I do is kiss my pets on their heads. Or scratching cats behind their ears until their eyes water and they shake like they just orgasmed.
It makes me feel more than a little oogy but it’s so much fun.

I will kiss my dog on the head. My girlfriend, however, will kiss her dogs and my dog right on their nose or lips. It took a while for me to get used to that.
Probably explains why she is with me! :eek: 😃

Not my dogs, but my best friend’s dogs (I’m their Auntie Krystal 🙂 ). I will feed them from the table with my own fork or spoon, and then continue to use it to feed myself. Also, the bigger of the two has been known to randomly steal food from my plate, and sips from certain drinks. I will also continue to eat/drink after he has done this. 😛

I have an Italian greyhound that loves to lick my toes, fresh and hot after being in a boot or a shoe all day. doesn’t bother me a bit.
She is also very fond of ears and will stick her tounge in one ear and out the other if you let her. First time she was lickin my ear and started humping the air was the begining of my " toes only" policy.

Well, that ranks right up there for most disconcerting thread titles…

Sometimes I play “eat the kitty’s toes” and then remember the litter box.

Well what’s wrong with that? heh. I kiss my dog and cat on their nose and lips all the time. I just lurrve them so!

I share my ice cream, yogurt, etc. with the cats. We eat off the same spoon.
My Rex occasionally tries to wake me up by jamming his tongue in my mouth. He also once bit my nipple through my nightshirt. Don’t get me wrong–I didn’t consent to either act. Gross, though.

I will also kiss our dogs on the tops of their heads. We try to avoid getting “frenched,” but sometimes they mount sneak attacks.
Mr. S and I frequently sleep in the nude, and our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us. Is it icky that some mornings I snuggle with a dog skin-to-skin? Not full body contact or anything like that, but sometimes the blanket or sheet slips down and the boobies meet fur. Hey, it’s soft and feels nice. And sometimes I’ll get out of bed and just be sitting on top of the covers while the dogs knock each other around and hit up the humans for petting, so they might be bonking up against my bare hip or something like that. We do keep the private bits protected by the blanket, try not to allow trampling of nipples or genitalia, kick them out when we want to mess around, etc. And no licking!

I have gotten over it, but my initial reaction was to think about where that dog was just licking.

One morning as I lay in bed yawning, Miss Phyllis stuck her entire snout in my mouth. Now that was a rude awakening. Ptui.

I don’t know about you, but a rough little tongue (or furry snout) that tastes like cat-food is not my idea of YUM.

Not **so** icky, but still:
When the cat climbs up onto my lap, purring, and does that thing where he stands and kneads, and then turns to face directly away from me, putting his little pink asshole right in my face…
…I blow on it.
Usually, he will look back over his shoulder at me, with that “what the hell are you doing?” expression. But sometimes… sometimes it makes him purr harder.
And sometimes, when I’m blowing on his asshole, I wonder what it tastes like. Hypothetically, of course. Not a testable question.
Well, it **is** , but I ain’t doin’ it.

Paging **oldscratch** … 😃
My dog, Snoopy, used to walk up to me when I was sitting on the floor and touch her nose to my nose. She didn’t try to lick me; we would just touch noses, then she would continue about her business. The most disgusting thing I ever did with her was assist in cleaning an insect bite-induced abcess on her chest that ruptured one evening. It didn’t smell, but there was a bunch of chunky, yellowish material. She went to sleep while the area was being cleaned; Mom almost passed out.

I kiss my dog’s nose and I let her lick my mouth sometimes. This might sound a little sadistic, but, if my dog is licking my hand, I like trying to catch her tongue with my fingers. Heehee.

Mr. S will sometimes grab the dog’s upper jaw in one hand, lower jaw in the other, and blow down her throat. So far they all hate that. 😃

I do this with my cat, C.C., who is a licking maniac. It doesn’t deter her, though it does tick her off.

Mouth kisses…check. My dog also likes to lick up into people’s nostrils. I try to discourage it but she’d give daily nose enemas if she could.

[Boo](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=60&pic=pets86.JPG&picindex=85) is our household dental hygenist. After a meal, just open your mouth and he’ll happily jump up on your chest, stick his head in your mouth and lick up any little bits of food that happen to be stuck in your teeth.
