Yup, Ollie does that all the time!

I think he does it to wake me up so I'll pet him. Cause whenever he does it he gets so extremely close to my face (maybe he's sniffing it) that his whiskers will tickle my face and I wake up spluttering and freaked out >_< One time I was having a nightmare about spiders (I had just seen the movie Arachnaphobia) and when he woke me with his whiskers I was sure it was a spider crawling around on my face.

It's always "nice" to wake up like that, and add in the wonderful smell of cat-food breath, and you'll have a wonderful morning >_<
