cat kissing

Question
Hello,
I've had my cat Neko for over a year now, and she always kisses me (on the mouth, hands, feet, ears). Sometimes she wakes me up with wet kisses, like a dog. Is this normal behaviour for a cat? If so, what's the reason for it?

Answer
Mitsu,

She is petting/kissing you. She doesn't have any other way to do it. She is a very affectionate cat and she loves you. I have one that gives "kitty kisses" all the time too (and I've never gotten any 'germs'. It rare so accept her love the way it's meant.

When she wakes you up she is saying "good morning, I want some love".
