    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!"

    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!!!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    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!

    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...
