This Not Smell Nice

Description

The minds of cats continually leave me guessing...

I think Ooddles was smelling the plant, because right before this shot, I saw her twitching her whiskers a lot. I'm not sure if cats open their mouths to help them smell better... ?! But whatever her deal was, she doesn't look entirely thrilled. :lol:

A goofy picture, for my goofy friend :iconhawkishdragon:, for catching my 3,000th pageview. :D

Lighting is solely from the sunset :)

*EDIT: according to my lovely friends who've commented back, cats DO smell with their mouths open. How funny!!! :lol:*

They crack me up when they do this! Usually its when they've had their head inside a slipper or a shoe or something equally strong-smelling!

I believe they have a gland in the roof of the mouth which enables them to somehow analyse the smell and tell them whether its dangerous or not.
