Sometimes, when she's expecting food, Fluffy sticks her nose right out of the water. Food comes from the sky, you see, so it arrives faster if she rises to meet it. The other day, I dropped half a pellet right smack on the tip of her emergent nose. The pellet immediately absorbed water from Fluffy's skin, and her skin immediately produced a light coat of protective snot in response. As a result, the treat became firmly attached to her snout in about five seconds. It took nearly a minute of nose immersion for it to drop off and become accessible.
