because


Because, Saffron.  Because.  Because I said so, that's why.  Because.


BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT NOSE OF HIS HAS BEEN.


MOUSES!


Saffy, you can't just go 'round sniffin' the noses of neighbourhood kitties.  That kinda behaviour is gonna get you a reputation and believe-you-me, it's not the kinda reputation a kitty wants to get.  But more importantly...


Like I said...


YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT NOSE OF HIS HAS BEEN.  You just don't know!


Well I know where MY nose has been, and if his nose has been anywhere resemblin' where my nose has been...


Well like I said...


YOU JUST CAN'T GO 'ROUND SNIFFIN' OTHER KITTIES' NOSES.


MOUSES!


Well let me ask you this, ol' brother of mine.  Where has YOUR nose been?


I mean OTHER than up close and personal with that neighbourhood kitty.  I'm talkin' about where your nose was this mornin'.


Saffy, do you not remember havin' a big bath earlier today?  Don't you remember washin' yourself all over?  Washin' yourself from the tip of your tail to the tips of your ears, includin'...


Yeah, THAT'S what I'm talking about Saffy, my man.  THAT'S where YOUR nose has been.


Now think about this, ol' brother of mine: where do you think that neighbour kitty's nose was the last time he had a big bath, washin' from the tip of HIS tail to the tip of....


NOW you're gettin' my drift.  So uh...


Umm...


So NOW do you see why you might not want to go sniffin' his nose?  Truth is, we DO know where that nose of his has been at some point or other, and it's not somewhere I would want my nose to be.  I don't think you'd want your nose there, either.  It's all well and good for a kitty to be washin' his own uh...  Well, his own you know what.  But no kitty wants to be sniffin' what was you-know-where when some OTHER kitty was washin' his you know what, if you know what I mean.


MOUSES!


And FYI, Saffy, same thing goes for peeps.  ESPECIALLY ours, as in aka Peepers.  You don't wanna be sniffin' Peepers' nose, either.


For the very same reason, Saffy, my man.  Now I'm not sayin' Peepers' bathes like us cats.  Oh sure, she DOES bathe.  Just not in the same way.  But still...


But still, one never knows where that nose of hers has been.  You how she is.  She's always stickin' that nose of hers into other peeps' business.  Well more importantly, into mine.  Interferin' little busy body, she is.  She's always stickin' her nose into MY business, for sure.


What's more, just the other day, I caught her sniffin' a lemon.  That's right, while bakin' a cake, she cut open a lemon and stuck her nose right in it and gave it a sniff.  Goodness knows what kinda lemon residue might have been left on that nose of hers, and if there's one thing I know, I, Seville the Cat, do not like lemons.  The last thing I want is lemon residue transfer from her nose to mine, so...


SO DON'T GO 'ROUND SNIFFIN' NOSES WITH PEEPS.


Or neighbourhood cats.


Or anyone else for that matter, either.


'CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THOSE NOSES OF THEIRS HAVE BEEN.


Just the thought of Peepers' lemon-covered nose gives me the willies.


MOUSES!

  3. You do have a point, Sivvers. You just never know where some kitty or peep's nose has been. Mouses. Now you've got us thinking about that!

  4. You make a good point Seville. Be careful what and where you sniff ;)
    Mostly I like to sniff my food. Sometimes I like to sniff mum...you know, in case she was eating a tasty snack or something ;)

  6. If Saffy won't listen to your words of wisdom, Sivvers, he'll just have to learn the hard way...

  7. Yup, them noses sure get into some undesireable places. Thats why I keep an eye, or two, on my own nose. A good lick over and we are super feline hygenic and good to go. Sniff not least we be ourselves sniffed.
