Hahaha bless him the wee nutter!
My boy especially is sooo loving but hasn't eaten my eyelashes... yet...

Perhaps you could surprise him with something like these...





Or more practical - do you have a pair of these lying around?


Oh and an even more practical answer. I would blow in his face. Not that hard - he should recoil from it. Cat's don't like it (perhaps it's the equivalent of hissing? or perhaps their sensitive whiskers pick up the vibration and they sense it as an object coming close to their face?) Either way it's the best way to stop a cat sticking it's nose where it's not wanted - a language they understand - and it's the only method I use for "telling" cats "off" - It'll save the bother of getting physical or verbal when you're prob half asleep- and it'll work 100 x better
