Actually, the nose is a sensitive area for most felines (includng the wild varieties; if attacked by a mountain lion/cougar/puma, the best strategy is to aim a punch at its nose). It's all soft tissue, and full of nerves.
The forehead, OTOH, is solid bone. My cat developed a habit of headbutting doors, cabinets, or walls if he thought they were in his way. Even when I knocked hard on his head, he'd just start purring.

Ha, gives new meaning to the word "bonehead", and prolly why Ghoster has survived this long!
The palm-denial thing they do take as a challenge, mostly, but if you want Kallista to attack you, and I am not kidding, she really will - provoke at your peril!
Make two fists about 8 inches and point your thumbs inward, then hold them up in front of her and wiggle em, going "look, *I* have opposable thumbs"...
You will seriously, seriously regret it, bwahahaha.
I'm right glad I didn't get stuck with Ray's cat, Howler - do not ever, EVER let that cats food bowl get empty, she's a siamese, and they're already notorious for mouthy-whiny-ness, and if she happens on an empty food bowl, she will wind up into a veritable air raid siren till you fill the damn thing... it's really, REALLY disconcerting and utterly impossible to ignore, she bloody well knows this, it's why she does it.
Makes me wonder sometimes, who the smarter species is here, thumbs or no thumbs.

This morning I heard crashing in our barbeque area. Theo was jumping around and jumping up onto walls knocking stuff down pouncing on things chasing imaginary beings etc. I went outside to see what was going on, he jumped on my foot and ran to the back door. I stupidly let him in the house. He jumped on couches and chairs galloped up the hallway into my parents en-suite, knocked over the stool, came back down the hall and into my room where he dived under my bed, massacred a sock,beat up a sneaker, ran back to the lounge room ran behind the couch sprang out to grab my arm, disappeared behind the TV came out did a weird martial arts move on my legs and dived under the couch where he got stuck. I got him free, he got me in a kitty headlock, I got his paws (claws retracted thankfully) off my face, he curled himself around my arm and started biting my hand...I wrangled him outside and he dropped down and went for a 200 metre run down near our chicken pen where he lay down for his first daily nap. I was tempted to join him.
