A cat is cleaner than a dog but many toy sized girl dogs are pretty close
Actually, to be perfectly honest, and I know this from experience, my mother is a veterinarian, the only reason cats lick themselves is to cool themselves off. They do not lick themselves to clean themselves. Dogs, on the other hand, lick themselves to clean themselves. They pant to cool off. Therefore, dogs are actually cleaner than cats. Cat bites and scratches have been known to cause severe infections, and even some diseases. Dog bites usually only cause severe bleeding.

Why dont cats have a cleaner mouth than a dog?
Yes, a cat's mouth is cleaner than a human's, and possibly cleaner than a dog's, too. The saliva that destroys germs and keeps the mouth clean is more powerful in cats than it is in humans or dogs.

No they are not. ANSWER The vast majority of infectious diseases only affect one species, so diseases that hurt dogs -- parvo virus for example -- will not generally attack a human. It follows then that a cat's mouth, while not cleaner than a human's, will contain fewer bactiera, virii,etc. that would infect a human. However, in terms of cleanliness, cats' mouths are no cleaner than your own.
Do dogs have cleaner mouths then cats?
A cat's mouth is cleaner. The average cat mouth has about 16-18 different types of bacteria, while the dog mouth has over 60 different types. They tend to have less because they open their mouths less often, thus not attracting so many microorganisms from the outside world, while the dog is constantly panting and breathing heavily through their mouths. Another reason because of this is that dogs tend to lick and bite things more than cats, whether it's exploring a new object or person that came into the house, drinking toilet water, or eating dirty socks. Cats, on the other hand, sniff and paw things when they want to play and only occasionally bite. A cat's mouth is also cleaner because of their eating habits.
