In doing some research on my bacon scented air freshener post i stumbled on the Wikipedia entry about flehmen. People with cats have probably seen this when their pet sniffs something particularly odd. In my case that would be my toe jam. The cat would take a whiff and then sort of sit back and open their lips and make what a friend of mine once called open-mouth-cat-stink. Since i grew up on Furman Road i should be able to remember “flehmen” but open-mouth-cat-stink is so much more fun to say.

That is really funny, my girlfriend and I call it our cat’s “stink-face”, and we sometimes (for amusement) try and get her to smell things that would cause her to make that face.

[...] Just a couple days ago, he posted this blog entry. I found it awesomely amusing, becuase my girlfriend and I refer to that face our cat makes (only one of them does it) as her “stink-face”. Often times, for our own amusement, we force the cat to smell something, in hopes that our cat will make that face, becuase it is so funny. [...]

Joe and I call it “spunk-butt face” because Charlie used to make that face after licking his dirty bits or smelling his spunk.
But then, Charlie is the only cat I’ve heard of who continued to hump and spunk AFTER being “fixed.”
