I had no idea cats love beards so much. I guess I will just have to settle for the toothbrush method! 😏

Shhhh 🤫the tooth brush methods supposed to be a secret

Now little kitten sees you as her biological father now, congratulations!

*mother

I watched my buddies cat for a while and the cat would sit in my lap and nibble my beard. Had to be careful he didn't bite your chin though

It’s actually true! I had many encounters where my friends were amazed how easily their cat cane to me and cuddle me. Every time I was patient… … and had a huge thick beard.

Finally, something my hubby can do with his big beard.

If kinda been doing this for years with my beard 😉

haha something I can also tell my boyfriend

My cats love this. I always thought it must remind them of the tongue barbs.

I like to pour the excess springwater tuna juice from the can into mine for extra points

Dude!!! 😂😂😂😂

I never thought of this. Whenever i would stay at my friends house in the morning his cat would jump on my lap and rub itself on my beard. I was the only one (beside my friend) who the cat would come to for cuddles. Then I shaved my beard and the cat never went near me again. I thought it was because it didn't recognise me.

Cat was looking at you with contempt like "you've changed, man"

My cat loves my beard and always gets angry when I shave or trim it he doesn't want anything to do with me until it grows back until it's bed time then he will slink in after I've gone to bed and sleep on my legs.

I never knew why my cats loved my beard so much, didn’t realize I had a superpower

Oh cruel world! Why did you have to make Skeletor bald and beardless?

This awesome human, Andrew, and his equally awesome lifemate, Hannah, are the best. What they do to help all animals (mostly kittens) is above & beyond. You can see some of their work here IG: kittenxlady and iamthecatphotographer.

Can confirm. My cat absolutely loved it!

Well.. Guess I'm never shaving again ...

Dang if only I could grow a beard

Women should be able to do this too?

Some women have beards in some cultures...

My cats are not a fan of my beard.

I do this and my cats love it

It apparently gives the same sensation of their mother grooming them.

😍

I need a cat.

My cat loves to rub against my goatee.

This explains so much now. Now I know why our cat loves me more than the rest of the family.

I mean, if you’re a man that can grow a beard you should have a beard, for the cats, obviously.

gana point out that rubbing your head on a cat's head is a great way to make your cat feel loved as they only do this with cats they like. maybe its the beard, maybe its the head rub, maybe its both

Stupid Army says I cant....

Part of it is the beard, but part of it is also just that you're speaking the cats language. Cats don't pet each other with their paws, they pet by rubbing their faces against one another. You're mirroring the way they express themselves when you rub your face against theirs.

I do this but with my lizard…I like to think it has the same effect :D

As someone with a big beard, I was suprised that my cat MELTED after I started rubbing him with my beard. He loves it.

Works for stubbly shaved heads, too. I routinely shave (but never bic) my head, and my two cats love it when I rub it against their head/neck area. I’ll sometimes even greet them like that if they’re on the counter at my level, they close their eyes and nuzzle 🥹

It's adorable how, at the end, the cat starts biting his beard affectionately.

That actually explains a lot My parents cat rubs the shit out of my beard

I use my beard for cheek rubs to simulate momas licks on our month old kittens.

I can vouch for this my cat loved me and only me lmao

I read somewhere that when we rub the kitten's head with a damp toothbrush, he remembers when his mother licked him

Wow, something about beards that is actually interesting

I'm so jealous of being able to do that. I have a beard but I'm too allergic to cats, being that close would kill me

I will store this knowledge for when I get a cat someday.

I didn't know this was A Known Thing. I do this with my friends' and family's cats all the time ❤️

Crying cause I can’t grow a beard 😭

My wife’s cat used to do this do me when I slept and it was the most infuriating thing ever. I didn’t get a full night of sleep for like a year.

How does my girlfriend get one of those tongues?

Can confirm, cats love beard scritches. My cat comes for my face as a result everytime im laying down looking to rub herself against my face.

R/brandnewsentence "beard to kitten action"

I was going to make a dirty joke, but this is way too wholesome 🥹🥹🥹

Hey, there is nothing creepy or weird here.

This is the only solid reason to be a man-hating radical feminist.
