OK, I know I am opening myself up...but here goes.

Diesel is ALWAYS sniffing butts .:Woo: ( NOT MINE! Tk goodness.)
Whenever any of my cats get near him, he makes a b-line for a whiff . :Woo:. ( Even his sister) Then he raises his nose in the air with his mouth half opened as if to savor the goodness of the aroma.( to him it is an aroma,to me it would be a stink.)
He doesn't stop until he gets caught. What to do???
Does anyone else have a Butt Sniffer??? Now don't tell me you don't know what I am talking about. I know there are others out there !!! :Wink:Well, Happy Saturday. Let me go find my "sniffer." :BigSmile:

Oh yeah...our Bengal does the same thing...every chance he gets he has his nose right on it. I also catch the mouth open thing too. I yell at him all the time for it. It seems to bother me more than it does the 2 Sphynxes.

I can explain part of it...the mouth open thing... Cat's have a thing called a Jacob's Organ. When they hold their mouths open like that it's because a smell (in his case his sister's butt...lol) is really intense. He's smelling ...it's kinda like what a snake does with their tongue when they smell things. Sometimes their mouths even seen kinda stuck open.

Butt sniffing is like saying hi what have you been up to...where you been. It's a greeting between friends.. an exchange of scents.

Maybe you should teach them to shake hands instead...lol!

We had this one cat that would march in one place when one of the others smelled her.

There are probably ways to discourage it, but I wouldn't...it's a natural thing cats do.
They probably find some of our habits pretty weird too.

Venus has and endless fascination for several things I do. She tries to help me color my hair (the dye won't hurt her). She thinks the shower is an amazing place, but she says there are easier ways to get a drink of water. Then there's putting on makeup. WHY???? and it smells weird.... if she had her way she would eat my foundation! I put some eyeshadow on the middle of her forehead the other day. I think she liked it.

lol...for reference most cats hate lipstick, but will eat your flavored lip gloss if they get a chance.

....I bet that produces some weird butt smells...fruity???

:LOL: OH dear! I hope you warn people that they won't get away with being stinky, before they enter your home. I guess things " could be worse ! "

:LOL::LOL::LOL: Air Biscuit!!!:LOL:

I laughed so hard Loki ran off my lap.

Merlin is the butt sniffyist cat I have ever had. He pisses Danser off and then she smacks him really hard. You can hear his brain rattle.

I think a cat who can identify the air-biscuit offender would be almost as valuable to a crowd as a bomb-sniffing dog..... Boris seems not to care in the slightest who may have emitted a green cloud in our house, he simply revels in the odor, while everyone else tries to hold their breath and pretend not to notice. If he could be trained to point out the criminal, maybe they would discontinue!
