Foster Kitten's An Odd One...

...but what cat isn't?

She has this weird habit of climbing up my chest and sticking her nose in my nostril, almost as if she smells something interesting up there. Anyone know what she's trying to do?

My new kitten does that sometimes, too. But it's usually in the middle of the night when I'm sound asleep... I have NO idea why

Not to be gross, but have you had a sinus infection? She could smell that.

I don't. I've been coughing hard enough to vomit (tmi) a lot lately and having sneezing fits though. Pudge completely ignores my nose. (only the foster does this, and Pudge usually hangs around nearby if I'm sick)

My kitten does the same thing. He's 19 weeks now and we've only had him for 3 weeks but he's done it since day one. He's either sniffing the inside of your nose, trying to scent your face with the cheek rub, or licking your eyebrows. He's a funny one for sure. He'll even come up to you when you are sitting down and climb up your chest and put a paw on each sid eof your face and try pull your nose down so he can check it out.

I do try to discourage mouth and nose contact from him though because I do have him on a raw diet and while I'm not to worried about him, people don't handle raw food and bacteria quite as well. I just hope I can convert his snuggling to headbutts instead of wet nose smears.
