Apparently, this gross look has a name...

Basically, whenever your cat (and I guess other animals) smell something gross, like their butt's and make that weird face it actually has a name!!

You learn something everyday I suppose... I just thought my cat was strange...

well i've learned something today!

Only on the Ableton forums! Too cool.

Thanks

I worked in a tiger training place for a while. The cats would lick eachother's piss and make that face.

We, the staff (there were just four of us), would imitate the face whenever someone said something objectionable. It was a small town, and we did it everywhere, to the point where folks at out local bar were doing it too.

We called it flamin'
(this was pre-internet 'flaming')
