I personally do not like my nose to get up close and personal with my shoes. Thor the kitten loves everyone’s shoes, which I’ve heard and read is normal kitten behavior. He isn’t small enough to crawl inside, but he’ll stick his head in, or take his toy over to the shoes to play. If I’ve been outside, he will come give my shoes a thorough sniff, gathering info. Cats and dogs have much better scent receptors than humans, and are able to get more information from those invisible particles than we can. Familiar scents can also be a comfort (which happens to humans as well).

So I realize my blog has had a kitten take over. This is my first cat this age in my care, I usually get cats that are six-months-old or older. I’m not apologizing, just letting my readers know that I am aware of the invasion and as a warning that it will continue.
