Nose Rubs

Persia likes to have the bridge of her nose rubbed.  She comes up to me when
she's feeling particularly snuggly and if I pat the top of her head she
turns her face up so I can rub the bridge of her nose.  She starts purring
like mad.  This leads to her rubbing her face on my hand and either
accepting chin scritches or bowing her head to receive neck scritches (as
she leans in for full affect).

Anyone elses cats like bridge of the nose rubs?

Yep, Bandit loves it.  Strangely, she also is the only one of my cats who
gives "nose kisses" - hmmmm, nasal fixation!??  ;>

Yup, my Bandit loves nosie scritches too, as did Aries & Kensey (RB's).
Snowball doesn't mind them but prefers circular rubs to the top of his
head between the ears, while Pericles would rather do without - when he
wants scritches on his own terms and in his own time he likes his
temples (where the fur is sparse in front of his ears) massaged.

Cats are obviously as varied as life itself, I'm pleased to say.

Rusty (RB) liked it; it seemed to almost put him into a trance.  He
also, when he felt especially mellow, allowed me to very gently stroke
over his closed eyes with my fingertips; to me, this felt like a huge
honor and a sign of great trust.

Jake lets me rub his nose, too, but he really likes having his big,
broad head rubbed even better!

I could get my Frodo (RB) to yawn by doing this - every time!

Nanki-Poo not only likes them, he demands them.  <G>

Incidentally, the cats are apparently still sorting things out.  I was
getting a little worried, because Lindy has been head cat for eight years,
and it appeared that Nanki-Poo was taking over that position.  When I give
them their canned food, Nanki always finishes his first, and then he heads
for Lindy's dish, even if she is still eating.  She yowls, but backs off.
I've tried picking him up, but she won't go back to her dish, so he finishes
it.

However, she isn't letting him have everything his own way.  Last night she
was on my bed when I went to bed.  Soon after I turned off the light, I felt
Nanki-Poo come up.  When I petted him, I found that he was damp.  Rain had
been predicted, so I wasn't too surprised.  He wasn't very wet, so I took
one of my hankies out from under my pillow and used it to dry him off a
little bit.  He put up with it for about a minute, then decided he wanted to
play.  After I caught a claw with my hand, I stopped drying him off.  A
minute later, he went into attack mode, and jumped Lindy, who was on the
foot of the bed.  It was dark, so I didn't see what happened.  I heard a
yowl and a brief scuffle, then silence.  When I turned on the light, Lindy
was still on the bed, and Nanki was on top of my sewing machine.  As far as
I can tell, he stayed there all night.

I guess I'd better shut down the computer.  We don't have thunderstorms very
often, but we're having one now.

Yes, TuTu likes nose rubs, head rubs, and anything else I am willing to
rub.   MLB
