I discovered, quite by accident, that Little Boy likes the smell of
peppermint. So every now and then, I grab a peppermint from the candy
jar, put it I my mouth, and sit down next to Little Boy.
His eyes get wide, he tries to force his nose into my mouth and
nostrils, he bites at my moustache and at the beard around my mouth.
He paws at my face to hold it still, and if I should breath out, he
tries to catch the minty vapors.
Each time I bite down on the peppermint, he goes crazy. I love
teasing my cats...
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

This really made me laugh! I love the image of him trying to force
his nose into your mouth. I'm sure he's quite insistent about it, too.

When Stinky was a hoolikitten, he used to try to pry my mouth open
after I brushed my teeth. ;)

Betsy (RB) adored the smell of mint. If I'd just brushed my teeth with
mint-flavoured toothpaste and picked her up, she'd do her best to stick
her nose in my mouth to get closer to the source of the fascinating smell!
She was limited in her attempts to hold me in position due to my lack of a
moustache and beard for her to get hold of.
