    I don’t think I’ve ever seen the guy cat sniffing anything. Is this a sex diff in cats?

    My male cat sniffs a lot too. It would make sense they would, to check for other males’ markings, females, etc.

    Maybe it’s a breed thing?

    The cats look pretty imposing when seen from the “mouse-eye view” of photo #2.

    My cat likes sniffing grass a lot and then eating it. The second picture of fluffy is brilliant, she looks so funny, like a furry stegosaurus ready to smash predators with its tail.
