Any animal's mouth is a very friendly place for germs and other micro-organisms to grow. Quite likely there are germs on your cat's tongue, including fecal coliforms (the cat, after all, licks his own anus as part of his cleaning ritual). Generally, though, cats' and dogs' mouths are cleaner than ours due in part to their more restricted diet.
