K & L beat me to it, but yes, if they want a REALLY good sniff of something, you see them do that. I always laugh when they do it to Honey's feet. I say "woo hoo they must really stink!"

I always wondered why Mini did that - thanks for the info :)
yea I didn't know if Toby was odd or something, but I kinda figured there was something to it. Now I know :) thanks
I love it when Boo does that!! He always does it after smelling our shoes!:p
it's called "hooing" in PT land :) That's the cute name for it. Bassett ALWAYS does that after sniffing her own butt.. and it makes me laugh EVERY time.. I keep telling her if she would just wipe ;) :p :D
Jacobson's organ is an organ many animals have but humans don't have. It is an extra "sense" additional to tasting and smelling.
I agree: they look too cute if they use it. I notice that they mostly use it when some smell could have something sexual or yucky in it.
Especially when they smell other cat urine!!!:eek:
Very true Lisa - these three idiots go into the garden (especially when other cats have visited) and sometimes all three are wandering about with that 'zonked' expression onn their face - with mouths open!! Talk about all the lunatics not being in the asylum!! LOL!

ROFL "zonked" thats a good word. :) Now whenever Toby does this I'll tell him to stop "zonking" haha :D
Misha does the armpit thing!
He usually sleeps curled up "in" my armpit and even tries to lick it but runs off when I start to laugh (I'm very ticklish!)
Silly kitty...:rolleyes:
