Nose Prints

Humans are linked to things by finger prints. But not us kitties, not even our paw prints. What can give us away? Our noses.

A cat most distingushing feature is the unique pattern of ridges on the nose pad.

Wow, that is interesting. Plus my nose is different in that it isn't even all the same color. It has a ligher pink splotch that goes across the pad.
I sure hope the Feline Bureau of Investigation (FBI) doesn't have my nose on file.

    Hope your weather is getting better!

  17. I haf two dark splotches on my nose that Mom noticed got bigger, but the vet sez that's normal.
    The Feline Bureau of Investigation sounds like US! I investigated a "bureau" fur my 6-word story, too!
    PS somehow mine Mom doesn't need nose prints to know who done it.
