robbie9576 asked:
My cat has caught three baby rats in the last few days in the garden. He has an unusual habit of licking me on the face. Is this a major health risk to me because of his contact with rats

Unless your cat eats them or gets scratched or bit by them it shouldn’t be a problem.

Just make sure your cat has had a rabies shot, other wise I don’t think it will cause any problems for you.

An animal that poses health risk to you that plays with its own feces on every surface in your house that much.

Call your vet and explain to them your cat is a hunter.
They can dispense a dewormer that will help keep you and your cat protected.
Ultimately your cat should be on heartworm/flea/parasite prevention monthly.
Advantage Multi,Revolution and Heartgard would all be helpful to control the risk of zoonotic transmission.
Your cat needs to be dewormed and a fecal sample is necessary to identify what parasites you cat may have contracted by interacting with the mice.
