Do You Have Cat Kissing Disease?
Are You One of the Millions Undiagnosed with Cat Kissing Disease?
Symptoms
Owning one or more cats
The desire to kiss cats upon site
Urges to pamper cats so they allow you to kiss them
Fur around and in the mouth and nasal cavity
Kissing cats (or a cat) more multiple times a day
Causes
It is likely the main reason people kiss cats is the same reason people kiss humans; we kiss cats to show our affection towards them. Cats are cute furry creatures that show humans unconditional love; cat kissers instinctively show them their unconditional love by kissing them.
Most cat kissers have owned cats all of their lives and the love for these animals are passed down from generation to generation. It is not uncommon however; for people who have never owned cats to contract CKD simply by coming in contact with a cat.
Treatment
There is no cure for Cat Kissing Disease. Unlike other diseases, it is not wise to stop kissing cats once diagnosed. Ignoring cats can be detrimental to humans who own cats and most likely end in retribution from the cat. Cats are social creatures and failure to pay attention to them will end in them knocking over your favorite object. More serious consequences includes constant head butting when trying to read the paper or type on the computer.
The best known treatment is to continue kissing cats as much or as often as possible. Side effects include fur on your clothing. A good lint brush is recommended to curtail this most common side effect. Some other common side effects, according to many doctors, include the ability lower blood pressure and curb depression. CKD has been known to boost immunity to allergies and reduces stress.
Living with CKD
Cat Kissers can live long, healthy, and fulfilling lives and do the same things people without the disease do.
People who have Cat Kissing Disease can blend into society without being noticed. It is hard to tell the difference between a cat kisser and a person who doesn't carry this disease. Grocery stores and pet shops are the most common places to find cat kissers. They often fill their carts with pounds of cat food and kitty-litter. These brave individuals are often respected and considered to be very humane.
*Footnote CKD is very similar to DKD (Dog Kissing Disease) Symptoms are identical with one exception; dogs will come when called. Cat Kissers need to put more effort into finding the cat with the use of an electric can opener.

Post a CommentI have been a Cat Kisser since childhood. My last cat passed away when I was 22 and I never completely got over it. Therefore, I often go through Cat Kissing withdrawl because I have no cat. However, my sister has a cat so I can often get a fix when I visit her.
I love this! :) I kiss my cat daily, and I can relate to the fur around the mouth. My mother always told me not to kiss the cat, but I didn't listen. He gets lots of love and kisses. I have the disease! I really enjoyed this article. :)
I thought this was a real disease at first. Very cute.
Cute. I guess I have CKD.
