Yeah, I do that. They don't seem to mind, as long as it's brief and there's ear scratches afterwards.
cats are one of those pets that require the occasional bothering, it's enrichment for them
My cat will press her face into my hand like that by herself if I hold my hand like that
Sometimes I'll wake up with a handful of face. My cat will have just crammed her head into my hand and there's a little grey nose sticking out from between my fingers.
i LOVE this face cats do where they scrunch up the front of their snoot, it's so fucking cute
