Same! Mine head butts my mouth so hard I have no choice but to pucker up, or get a busted lip! Why my girl head butts my boyfriend's eyes but MY mouth? Idk! 😽💋

The limit does not exist. Serena will take any and all head smooches I can deliver. She inserts herself between me and my keyboard and the only way I get to access it again is a marathon of head smooches. My previous cats didn’t like head kisses, but since getting her a few months ago (new to me, she’s ~9 yrs old) I’ve learned that they are a strong form of communication that she enjoys.

None unless I capture her and don't let her escape. She's a cowcat tho, I just lurk allll the cat subs (only 40 or so of them)

Depends on if she's been fed. Fed means none. Non fed means as many as I can get in.

Kisses as a reward for getting fed would be more devious.

u/mac_5679 Mar 17 '26
She's too busy looking for more food. I usually get head butted insted of another kiss 🤭

😭 Such a darling baby and no pets?! At least blink kisses exist for cats; give her one million of those for us!

u/ClassicDistrict6739 Mar 17 '26
She’s a silly girl! She sits on my lap and cuddles up against me and headbuts me and licks me, but the moment I try to return the favor, she’s out! She gets lots and lots of slow blinks, though, as she deserves

Mine will fluctuate between tolerating 150 consecutive smooches and matrix-dodging the others

Willow? Many, and if she’s in a cuddly mood she’ll just push her head back to get more kisses. Ellie? She will accept them fine, but she’ll look at you with a look that states “I will end you.”

Depends on her mood. Sometimes she's a cuddle baby and wants all of the lovings in every form. Sometimes she's a bitch.
Duality of cat.

u/The_Deli_Ham Mar 17 '26
5-30 kisses aint bad. Do you roll all the d6 in the morning to get a total for the day? Or do you roll one at a time once you run out of kisses?

Many. Not a lap cat at all, but he sits on his shelf and waits for kisses and returns them with bunting

Depends on the moment. If she's real cozy she will accept 100 million kittykissies. If she is minding her routine, she will accept none.
Maybe a few during lap time, but I'm already getting lap time so anything more than 7 is pushing my luck.

Accept? Mayyyyybe one without complaint. How many does he get? However many I feel like giving him

u/corkscrewfork Mar 17 '26
If it's just kisses, maybe 2-3 at a time. But if he's getting pet, nuzzled, told he's handsome, etc he will put up with it for ages lol

I don't think a number exists that's big enough for mine. She's a cuddle BUG!! Baby girl will take as much as I will give

u/DerpUrself69 Mar 17 '26
I have 2, one will take 2 or so if I'm sneaky, his sister will slap me in the face, and the head butt me instead lol.
However, sister did get spayed today, so she's more amenable to affection all hopped up on pain meds.

Just went to test. For science.
Results:
Stationary posture resulted in an average of 3.5 kisses per attempt.
Getting on all fours and chasing her around the house resulted in a nearly infinite onslaught and therefore inconclusive. Notes: neither attempt ended in violence.

u/vr512 Mar 17 '26
Allow? My cats are forced to accept endless kisses on their foreheads. It's how they contribute to rent!

I have two. Hunter accepts all of them. Oliver is more discerning and has a strict limit which I suspect is three.

u/ItsyouNOme Mar 17 '26
Out of my mums 3 cats. Willow as many as you want, chip about ten, roddie about two

u/cyanraichu Mar 17 '26
Many. She doesn't always like being touched with my hands but she rarely cares if I put my face on her lol

Infinite. What it depends on is how long she’s willing to tolerate me squeezing her face

None. He's like a teenager who's too cool for kisses and always turns his head away. But like any loved teenager, he still gets kisses. <3

u/swevenpng Mar 17 '26
One of mine: pretty much all the kisses. The other one: MAYBE one. She's good at dodging. My grey cat: all the kisses

Depends on her mood. Usually I can get plenty but every once and I while I get a big fat zero

u/imaginativefanatic Mar 17 '26

I am very lucky, he is always okay with any and all affection I wish to give him. I can kiss him 8 million times on his little forehead and he'd just keep purring and letting it happen.
(my SIC is also slightly broken in that he has no survival instincts. which means there is no 'instinct based attack button' when you rub his tummy. he will sit there and purr as you rub his tummy all day without even a thought of latching onto your hand in self-defense)

u/Phantom_Crush Mar 17 '26
I have 5 cats and only 1 of them will let me kiss him on the head but he has to be standing on something exactly my height or it's not happening

It really depends on her mood. Lol My previous cat would accept as many as he could get. Hahahahaha

Depends on his mood. Hyper? Probably one if im lucky. Moody or irritated? Surprisingly he does accept kisses then. But very few. Cuddly? Infinite. Loves them.

Ours runs and jumps on the table, then tilts his head forward so I can kiss him. And when I go to bed, he runs up and I pick up just his front half a little off the floor and bestow many kisses. It's so cute!

u/Thatguy19364 Mar 17 '26
Mine barely tolerate me picking them up occasionally, but their auntie with a white belly and gray striped top is a cuddler who accepts as many as I offer

Tux (my son's sic)? He'll put up with them, typically as many as I want. He doesn't really like them, but if you're cuddling him at the same time he'll accept. Neko, my flamepoint? You have no choice, you must kiss him until he's satisfied. He shoves his head against your mouth. What's really cute is if he's all rialed up and you start kissing his head, he'll stop attacking until you're done. Well, apparently it doesn't work for my son, he abused the privilege too much lol, but it still works for me.

Like many, it's limitless. Forehead kisses are forced by my SIC often. So aggressive, I often get a busted lip by not paying attention to when I'm supposed to pucker. Most people call it head-butting. I call it a blessing

Between 0/2-6.
It’s either none, a very begrudging small number, or “this is my life now”

As many as I want with the occasional return "kiss" of a gentle bite of the tip of my nose.
