Rain Gryphon

I enjoy touching cat noses. I've been that way as long as I can recall. Alexandra, like all of the cats who've lived with me, is used to it. When she comes over to interact with me, she stretches her nose toward my hand, like she wants to sniff me, and I touch her nose with the tip of my index finger. It's a ritual that takes place before we snuggle, wrestle, etc.

I would *love* to touch the noses of the big cats at the zoo, especially the tiger who comes right up to the glass and leaves nose marks on it. He would find my visit much more fulfilling were the glass not there as well, I think.
