Muzzling cats' noses

Lately, Martha our adorable tortie encourages me to make a circle with
my thumb and forefinger, then she shoves her little muzzle into it.
Idon't think this is especially odd because most cats like to have
their heads and faces mauled. Does your cat like the muzzle muzzling
treatment?

When Sir Weebs was a tiny one (1 - 2 days old) I had to bottle feed him,
and he was sooooooo anxious and squirmy to get to the bottle, I couldn't
get it in his mouth, so I had to hold his head still the way you
describe. Until he learned to "find" it on his own.

To this day, when he wants food in his dish, he comes up and nudges a
hand with his head...

He'll be 5 later this month.

Our like that and also like it if you cup your hand so they can bury
their whole face in it. Kind of like they are trying to get their
whole face scritched all at once.

Just remembered, with good reason, that when Stinky is annoyed or stressed,
like when he goes to TED or when I give him his fluids, he comforts himself
by pushing his face into the crook of my elbow, or into my armpit. \

Almost all of mine do that - at least the ones that aren't wanting to
explore the exam room so much that the keep jumping off the exam table
*during* the exam and having to be picked back up for the next "step".

Big fuzzy yo-yo's I call them when they start doing that.

Ohhh yes. Tiny Mimi (RB) was yes, tiny, and very slippery, and would squirt
out of the vets hands and be all over the exam room. He would chase her
around, muttering "It's *always* the little ones!!!"

I'm ticklish too. When I shower Emily insists in being in the bathroom
with me, sprawled on the sink. Afterwards, when I'm towelling off she
jumps down and helps me dry off by licking my ankles. She enjoys
hearing me laugh because her raspy little tongue tickles me.

outsider shouted to everyone in earshot,

heh, I hear that. I'm actually not all that ticklish, but it's still
hard to not "jump" when I'm lying down and Jimmer comes up to jam his
nose into my pit, even if I'm wearing a shirt or two *and* I see him
coming.
