Now tagless for your comfort.

In other wild-and-crazy-on-a-Saturday-night news, my cat's nose is dry. That's bad, right?

As long as it's not really hot, I think dry is ok.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

One of my two cat's noses are dry right now.

Also, two out of two of them don't really like getting their noses touched.

Additionally, ow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, thanks, y'all. His nose isn't overly hot, but maybe he's just a little dehydrated from the summerness of it all.

Have fun, Sue!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well, I am going to try the tomato thing. I get enough sun that my herbs can either deal with staying wherever I plant them or mutate and grow legs.

It's only a sampling of one because the other cat is hiding, but puppycat's nose seems dry enough to me and she is healthy, if not exactly smrt. I tried to get a good feel of her nose though and she nipped at me. She's good with belly rubbing but apparently the nose is off-limits. She has strange limits. We are having a "No bites!" lesson right now.

My cat has thankfully given up on any boundary issues he might have. There's no stopping the Owenator when he wants to pet the kitty.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I once lived with a cat that would wake me up by very gently touching the tip of his nose to mine. Very cute.

But, yeah, as long as it isn't hot I don't think a dry kitty nose is necessarily a sign of a problem.

Funny -- touch the belly AT ALL, and my cat wants to fight. I have no problem clearing gunk out of his eyes, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The neighbors upstairs just got a cat, and I think they're feeding it amphetamines.

Hopefully, they're just catsitting.

Yeah, my sister's cat has a strictly enforced No Touching The Belly policy. Some minor scarring has ensued.

I think you just wanted to see how many Buffistas would end up bleeding if we started tapping our cat's noses. FTR, not bleeding, just a little scraped up.

There's no stopping the Owenator when he wants to pet the kitty.
For his first year, nephew thought that cats = "gentle, gentle"... It's what I said to him when he got near either of my cats.

Little toddling wee guy going after a cat saying, "gentle gentle" while wanting to love on it was funny.

on edit, one minor bit of bleeding. But barely.
