How to Maximize Your Snorgling
People, you really need to know how to maximize your snorgle. Pull up a chair—and listen.
First, Find a limp, sleeping kitteh, preferably warm to the toche.
Second, locate warm, defenseless neck area
Third, locate the "Axis of Snorgling", an elusive concave area, created by the crook of a neck, overlapping paw, etc.—it must be large enough for one human nose (see green circle in figure A)
Lastly, Bury nose into Axis of Snorgling, and stay there until someone tells you you're weird and that you should act like an adult.
Repeat as needed, until kitteh/boy/girlfriend runs away.

SNOOOOORRRGLE
off to practice right now...thanks!
I'm allergic to kittehs and I still wanna snorgle!
Ha.. I could teach a class on axis of snorgling on sleepy kitn... you have found a prime spot; another excellent choice (in my experience) is the soft wispy spot right in front of the ear.. their "temple" more or less. YUMMMY. If I were at home I would be snorgling somewhere right this minute.
Axis of Snorgling! HA HA HA HA! What could be better!!!
Want a kitten to snorgle! All mine are growed up and don't take too kindly to this.
mmmmmmmm Baby kitty furry yummyness Ahhh I can smell the fluff right thru my monitor. Dange Danger Kitten huffing is eminent.
I must respectfully disagree on the snorgle site. Yitzy gets snorgled on his leetle head. In the mornings when I attempt to read the paper, Yitzak insinuates himself onto my lap and into my arms, and rubs his head on my chinny chin chin until I hold him close and rest my nose on his head and breathe essence of Yitzy. We stay there for many many minutes, until interrupted.
I actually not sure who is getting snorgled, me or Yitzy, as he leecks my neck while we cuddle.
I had finally recovered from yesterday's kitteh video and now there are little bits of brain coming out of my ears. Thanks a lot!
Wow, this site is both entertaining AND educational!

The more you know!
i'd also add a post snorgle smooch at the intersection of nose and mouf
That is premium snorgling territory! Now if only my orange tabby would let me without trying to kick me in the face! :P
My favorite thing to do isn't the traditonal snorgle. I like to lightly lay my head right below a kitteh's shoulder blade and listen to the deep purring and feel the warm kitteh fur from that angle. What could that be called? Side-snorgle?
Yes, the area is off just a tad. Must be closer to head. Kitty wakes up and turns head into your mouth and it's like a kitty kiss.
I must run home to my dog to practice.
ewwwwww... now there's snot on my computer screen :-D
Looks like someone was snorgling on lil kitteh leeps - they look like smeared lipstick! So pink and cute to match nosicle and jelly bean toes
(hand waving up high) Um..I am assuming that this also applies to thoes of the cainine persuasion?
and how about the bunneee persuasion?
I haven't tried snorgling my new foster bun yet...
haven't even figured out yet how to pick him up right -
and boy he can kick!
Then you bury your face in the furry tummy and give the kitteh a furbert. That's if this is a mellow kitteh, because some of the others might kick your face off.
KITTY LEEPS!!!!!
Yuummmyyyy - yumtastically yummy even!
Now, off to find a kitten to snorgle
Pink nose closeup! :)
The entire experience can be exponentially enhanced by tickling the peeenk toe pads whilst snorgling.
May I suggest that when attempting this technique on a sleeping kitteh, approach from BEHIND, rather than in front of kitteh, so when kitteh wakes up, you will be able to get out of claws' way. Thank you -- this has been a public snorgle announcement.
LOL RJ. Warning received and noted.
One of my kittys (Magneto, who is a rescute). actually snorgles me while I snorgle her.
I love to snorgle the silky fur on the bottom of the kitty ear. Then perhaps a delicate kronche on a kitty ear.
Kitty neck is a prime spot as well. My girls get well snorgled on a nightly basis.
Snorgling takes the work stress away!
Ah yes. Must get me a kitten and inhale the tummy smell now.
my stevie does this with no invitation needed.
he ALWAYS instigates the snorgle, there is also, cat spit, bread makin and extremely loud purring, along with nose-to nose , lips to lips/nose face smashing WITH snot and spit.
FABULOUS>
and Steve is 4-1/2 yrs old!
good kitty.
I have 4 Kitties that I can get snorgles from...
One of them snorgles with me after I clean her ears... She puts her head down and let's me snorgle her between the ears...
I have a little boy that likes to put his paws on my face, and rub his face on my chin... MUCH snorgling goes on then...
My eldest Lady isn't crazy about snorgling overall, but she will let me share a "kitty kiss" with her when she's feeling particularly affectionate...
And finally, my Meow Cow well let me snorgle with her, but only after I pet her on the nose...
Another great snorgle spot is on the back of their neck right where the head and neck meet. And I agree, the top of the head is a great one! Due to my visiting this site so much my cat now responds to "time to snorgle the proshness!"
"...some of the others might kick your face off."
Tina Rhea, you made me snort at work with this.
"Axis of Snorgling"
Snort.....Bwahahahaha!!!
I wanna scoop the bebeh up and take him home.
Henry cat lets me snorgle him all over, but my favorite place is right under his ear, where his kitty scent is best, second is the fluffy bunny fur on his tum tum, but shlurberts freak him out a little.
ceejoe, bunneh's can be difficult to snorgle. I find the best technique is to either distract them with a yummy salad or skritches, and then snorgle at the back of the neck, just behind the ears on a lop. It's the soooooooftest!
Look at the whiskas, there's a liddle black at the base!
My Eeyore kitty used to prefer the back of the neck/between the shoulder blades snorgle, with a scratch on the lower part of her back at the same time. The lower back spot is the one where her hips and base of the tail come together, on that little knob of bone. Someone once told me which chakras that would be for the kittybeast.
Now, my friends Rose and D have a kitty who LOVES a belly snorgle. She'll purr and purr and wrap her front paws around your head and kinda hug you. The trick is, she's only snorgleable when she's half asleep, generally in the just waking up mode. This is, incidentally when they trim her claws, and she's very sweet about it, purrs through the whole thing.
snorgle, snorgle, snorgle, snorgle, snorgle, snorgle, snorgle!
I take teh kitteh home!
thanks for the advice, Wendy...
so is there a particular method for picking up and holding a bunny?
I like to snuggle kitty and puppy chest.
I mean...snorgle.
I like to SNORGLE kitty and puppy chest.
OMG, Axis of Snorgle!
My kitteh is sleepin half on my lap and half on my computer desk (it's one of those ridiculous, how-the-heck-can-that-be-
comfortubuhls positions) and RIGHT BEFORE I came to CU, I was snorgling the exact AoS! It is truly the vital point for snorgledom.
Oh the pinkness of it all! I can almost get past the orangeness......
I mean REALLY!!! Teh PINKS!!!!11!!
The pink lips!!!!
btw orange and pink is a fab color combo!
Meg, you are tooooo funny today! You need to be writing for the Colbert. Did anyone see last night his bit with the puppy?
Warning: snorgling may result in extreme rollage and paw fanning.
Meg just gets better and better and better!!!
Pink paw pads! Pink paw pads!
(In Chandler voice)"Could that kitten nose, lips, ears and jelly beans BE any more pink???"
Matches the carpet too.
