Our ancestors firmly believed that in the process of “communication” with cats there are things that it would be better to refrain from.
For example, you shouldn't kiss members of the cat family on the face (and probably on other parts of the body too).
According to beliefs, when a person's lips touch a cat's nose or face, energy leaves him.
The pet unknowingly takes a piece of life from its owner and sends it to the other world – as a kind of food for its mysterious inhabitants.
However, if you can’t hold back, you are allowed to kiss your cat on the back or side.
Science agrees that you shouldn't kiss a cat on the face, although it gives different arguments.
Thus, as a result of contact with mucous membranes and saliva, infection with worms or infections present in the animal’s body may occur.
That’s why you shouldn’t kiss a cat – neither adults, nor, especially, children.
