Why Does Your Cat Smell Your Face?
Interesting facts about cats
Although a cat's sense of smell is not as good as a dogs' but it's far better than a human's. Like dogs, cats use their sense of smell to gather information, including information about us.
When your cat sniffs your face and breath, they're simply memorizing your scent. They recognize your scent and find it comforting.
But why are they doing it every day or even a few times a day?
Cats rely heavily on their strong sense of smell to give them information about food, prey, and their general surroundings. Sniffing you often tells them a lot about your diet, the cosmetic and personal care products you're using, and your unique skin chemistry. Memorizing your scent also helps them to build trust and familiarity, so let your cat sniff away!
Cats have an organ at the roof of their mouths behind their front teeth called the vomeronasal organ, or Jacobson's organ. When your cat takes a sniff and leaves its mouth open for a few seconds, it's actually drawing air into the mouth and up into the Jacobson's organ.
Also, when your cat makes a strange face when smelling your face, hand or feet, it is because it smelled something interesting and is drawing the scent into the Jacobson's organ to get a better smell.
Does your cat trust you?

Bad experiences cannot define who you are
A standalone sweet romance novelette, and also part of the Bedtime stories for Grownups bundle: EBOOK AND PRINT
Elana was born to a homeless, drug addict mother and left on
the steps of St. Patrick Cathedral. Moving from one foster home to another, her
life was a revolving door of shattered hopes and disappointments.
As soon as she felt an emotional connection to anyone, the
foster kid in her quickly pushed the feeling away. The last thing Elana wanted
to do was to get close to someone she would probably never see again. The
necessary emotional defense served her well throughout her unpredictable life.
Until she met Luca.
Allowing them only a short time of happiness, cruel fate tore them apart. All she had was hope and half of the rosewood heart pendant he carved to hold onto. Will they meet again?

"Think Those Memorable Old-Time Bedtime Stories
We all remember cozying up in our warm comfortable beds and settling while a bedtime story was read to us. The fun of the stories centered on the variety - not just a single book was the same but they all represented a vivid imagination and a memorable tale. Erika M Szabo refers to her imagination as her 'superpower' - I can't think of a better description of her creation of stories that span many different genres yet they all have that touch of magic that resonates with us from those old-time fairy tales. These however are adult tales with adult themes such as rising to find your dreams following loss and suffering and rising up despite hardship and fear. Tim Shafer's narration of this story helped create that comfy bedtime story mood. I will be seeking more opportunities to listen to books by this author." ~Sandy C.

Ghost Story
The Ghost of Prince Akhmose
Click to read a few chapters
A powerful curse cast
thousands of years ago by the Grand Vizier. Tanakhmet cursed Prince Akhmose to
never enter the Field of Reeds, the heavenly paradise. Why did he want him to
linger as a restless ghost among the living, forever?
By reading the hieroglyphs,
Layla, a young Egyptologist, inadvertently breaks the curse and frees the
ghosts of both Prince Akhmose and the Grand Vizier whose thirst for revenge is
stronger than ever.

charms of the mortal woman, he doesn’t want to…
