My chin, lips, cheek, and right nostril are cleaner than they've ever been. Talk about exfoliation — loofahs haven't got anything on kitten-tongue.
I take it as a compliment that Stella feels the need to groom me, although it can become a bit uncomfortable. Her tongue is scratchy, of course, and she alternates licks with small sharp bites (the kind that cats use to worry knots out of their fur). I did try to stop her after a while, but it was difficult. When I took my face away, she started going after my wrists and hands. This was not the first time Stella groomed me, but she was not as thorough that time.
