The Touching of Noses

You know how it is when you're trying out a new steed. You might be a tad nervous, hoping everything will go well; perhaps a bit unsure. And so it was with the Dancing Girls on this day. The season is growing late and they wanted to fit in a few more adventures, including a ride.

And so the Dancing Girls mounted their steeds (who are, by the way, bendable cats). And they rode them around, seeing the sights. There was a moment where the two steeds drew close to each other for the first time, and we all held our breath, waiting to see what would happen. Nobody knew: how would they get along?

The cats stepped toward each other, their tails held high. The Dancing Girls sat tight. The Crittergators watched carefully from the sidelines, ready to intervene if necessary. And then: a little nose touch! And even a little kiss! Hooray! Friends! And perhaps more . . .

The song: Rod Stewart, Love Touch (from the soundtrack of the film Legal Eagles).
