WTF! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. An animal that shits/pisses in a box that it walks around in, then licks it's paws which were just in said box it shit/pissed in, is cleaner then an outside cat/dog? Or am I misunderstanding your statement?

the idea that cats are inherently cleaner creatures than dogs is the dumbest thing you've ever heard?

They are inherently dirtier. In fact if you are scratched by a cat, you have a good chance of fecal poisoning as they walk in their shit. Ask any pet grooomer.
 
cats bathe themselves all over with their own saliva.
And I don't want this tongue licking me

They bathe themselves almost hourly. They do clean parts of themselves that have been in a litter box, but thanks to saliva the same thing that was on your tongue an hour ago isn't there now.

That's how I see it anyways.
 
Cats don't lick affectionately (or at least, extremely rarely). Well, unless you're an unclean person who doesn't wash their hands after eating something or something something.

Dogs lick you to show affection. I'd much rather have a cat just curl up next to me.
 
I dunno. Because I love him? Akitas seem to be pretty "kissy" dogs to begin with; mine gets offended if I walk in the door from work and don't show him a bit of affection, and he'll shadow me until I do. He's an old man (especially for his breed), can't go up & down the stairs any more, he's a bit more feeble/clumsy.. so I'm happy to let him know he's loved while I still can. (I hope that this made sense)

Thankfully, they don't tend to give big, wet, sloppy licks. More short, dry pecks.

Yep. I don't mind them licking my hands or anything. I dunno, dogs are kinda... clingy. I like cats more for the reason that they just don't give a fuck sometimes :lol

...And I suppose every person you've ever come in contact with is an asexual being who hasn't used his/her hands/mouth to pleasure another person? :lol
 
gotta love the people who really think a dog's mouth is clean.

here's a hint: you're wrong. and they are riddled with germs. really, dog saliva all over your face?

frankly it's disgusting. the tongue of a dog probably resides in the toilet bowl or some next shitty area. they lick their own ass and balls for crying out loud..

Humans do this thing called showering and washing with soap, which is a disinfectant. Most cultures frown on shaking hands with someone after you've wiped your ass with your bare hand. Where do you live that you didn't think of this and any other distinction between humans and animals?

So where are all of the dreaded diseases and infections, oh guru?

You're not only wrong, you sound like an old housewife. :lol

Riddled with germs. Oh that's rich!

Fact: Dog Kisses Can Make You Sick

Think dogs' mouths are cleaner than humans? Think again. Veterinarians say dogs' chops are teeming with germs like salmonella, campylobacter, and cryptosporidium. These germs get into a dog's mouth from eating spoiled food or when he uses his tongue as toilet paper. Then a kiss moves these germs from pooch to person, along with a nasty course of diarrhea.

None of this has ever happened. Now what?

i've been scratched by a cat and didn't get "fecal poisoning" as you claim. now what?

how is the idea that their mouths are full of germs so absurd to you? we have mouth washes for the purpose of killing germs in our mouths.

I mentioned fecal poisoning because some ninny said cats are cleaner that dogs.

People kiss each other and they have filthy mouths. Now what?

OMGZ STOP TEHE KISSING!

Germs are everywhere. Man up, ladies.

My friend's dog is in season and apparently cleans her bloody vagina with her tongue. You see where I'm going with this.

You or your wife, gf/bf or whatever suck dick or eat puss and kiss each other, family, kids etc ..... bit of tooth paste makes all the difference huh??
 
I kiss my dog on the nose and head and let him lick my face (not prolonged licking, he just comes up and gives me a lick from time to time)

Ive never seen my dog eat shit, another animal, or anything gross. He has almost never been outside with out me a few feet away or us playing.

Ive also never seen him lick his ass, I dont even think he can lick his own ass, his weiner tho..yeah he cleans it all the time.

My rule is...Im not a germ freak. I almost never get sick and I feel liek the minute I start worrying about every germ my body ingest thats when my immune system will fail. Yeah Im a dirty motherfucker I guess, if I get some shit/trash on my hand I might do a quick 5 sec rinse with water but Im not breaking out the santitizer.

I just cant not kiss my dog, he is so cute. About 50lbs of snuggling
How could you not want to smother this guy with hugs and kisses!! Call me gay but he's like a son to me.

I'll kiss my pet friend on the forehead, but I never let them lick me. Aside from the bacteria problems, I don't want to smell their dry saliva on me.

Dogs just lick your face when they like you a lot. Yeah it's soppy and somewhat gross but whatever dude i'm not a girl im not gonna go ewww and make a topic on neogaf about it.

Yeah, I let my dog lick my face. I even occasionally encourage it. Its pure love being slobbered onto you.

When we wrestle he occasionally playfully bites, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't bite him back sometimes. We have a good time.

So, I bite my dog. So what? You wanna fight?

I love it when someone is arguing and their rebuttal is "this never happened." So, that's it huh? A dog's mouth is clean becaue you never got sick from it before?

Nice argument. Looking at your previous comments you're like a fanboy from gaming side, only you're a fanboy of dogs. :lol

In reality, the facts have been shown. Enjoy the fecal matter on your face.

Or maybe we'll enjoy our improved immune systems from the controlled exposure of these germs from when we open-mouth kiss our dogs?

You ever think of that!?

Oh I do. I also enjoy not being a pussy germaphobe, like hand-wringing, shower after shitting GAF. :lol

Nothing is "clean" People still kiss with the OMGbacteria in their mouths. The world's not a clean place. But lookie lookie, even with all of that horrible icky bacteria and JESUSCHRISTGerms, the average person never gets anything.

Just like those asshole parents now that can't get their kids dirty then wonder why they have no immunities, and every known disorder.

I think not french kissing your dog and washing your hands after taking a nasty, 5 taco shit are entirely reasonable. You're being very weird in this thread. :lol

I'll admit, I'm not much of a dog person in the first place, mainly due to the fact that I'm allergic to most breeds, but I can certainly see the appeal of a furry companion. What I've never understood, and it's unlikely to change within my time on this planet, is why people bust slobs with their pooches. I don't know about you, but the thought of swapping saliva with Fluffy is hair raising. And I'm not talking about some half-hearted kiss on the fur, I've seen hundreds of people in my lifetime, friends and family included, who kiss their dogs on the mouth/nose and let their dogs straight up lick them in the face/mouth. I know many people consider them a part of the family but this level of affection just seems a bit much...

Do I have to be a dog person to understand?

Man, sometimes I go to bed upset because my dog wouldn't lick me before I hop into bed after he licks my wife.

I put my face right in his face, begging for a sign of affection...when I don't get it sometimes it hurts... :lol
 
Damn... at least I do kiss my toy poddles in the mouth :lol Never found anything wrong with it. Now, there's no way I would kiss my Cane Corso. She's huge. Hell standing on two legs she's about 5'7.
 
Kissing dog on forehead is all good by me.
Letting dog lick your face (not mouth/tongue) is all good by me.
Kissing your dog on the mouth/tongue is NOT all good by me.
 
I have a dog but I would NEVER let him lick my face. (Mine's not much of a licker anyways and I'm beginning to think this behavior towards humans is learned by dogs as opposed to being innate)

I mean, they're constantly licking their bums, other dogs bums or trying to eat weird stuff outside :lol

So just because it has never happened to you, it means it isn't true? What kind of shit logic is that?

Anecdotal and people use it all the time. Do you seriously think people are getting ill from dog kisses? Is that your stance?

This is just afraid of life attitude running wild. Boys in bubbles.

Anyone can get sick from anyone/anything, and that includes your pets.

Thats what we call "common sense".
