Catbook Etiquette?

[andygates]

Is it rude to stroke a Cat Near You when you've never seen either the beast or its feeder, but just because it is an ickle cute kitten?  I mean, is that a horrible faux pas?  Help me, Auntie Etiquette, you're my only hope.

Not sure what Auntie Etiquette, UK would say, but it would be an insult to cat and owner here if you did not. :o)
