i am the cat with one brain cell

who craves your human touch

i cannot speak,

but can you tell ?

i need it oh, so much…

am lying here, in Ecstacy

as you massage my head

EmOTiOn FILLS inside of me!

but i just

drool

instead…

so gently now, the brain cell stirs

a feeling has awoke…

am HYPNOTIZED ~ you hear my purrs

with each n every stroke

it’s building now - the swallow stops

am lost inside the cuddle

n finally… the drool

it

drops

my heart melts

in

a

puddle…

u/Koibo26 Jan 18 '26

It's been a long time since I had a fresh schnoodle! This one is amazing too!

u/FeelingWoodpecker121 Jan 18 '26

So, ahem, pardon me, explain the lore to one unfamiliar please

u/Koibo26 Jan 18 '26

The person who posted the poem above is known for randomly popping up on mostly pet subs and creates a heartwarming poem in relation to the video or picture of the post. It's gone on for many years and if you happen to come across one when it's just posted, it's known as a fresh schnoodle. It was especially helpful during the COVID days.

I feel so blessed to have seen one in the wild now!!

They have a dedicated subreddit, r/schnoodlesdoodles for all your wholesome pet poetry needs

May I also recommend r/poem_for_your_sprog (the little Timmy poems always make me laugh]

u/MrsTruce Jan 18 '26

I haven’t seen sprog in AGES.

u/Shelb1464 Jan 24 '26

What is sprog?

u/Kt_cat_2lo Jan 24 '26

My favorite days are the days that I find something new and fun on Reddit, especially a recommended subreddit that I now can follow. Thank you for the info!

I only stumble across fresh Schnoodles in the wild about once every 2-3 months so it’s a special treat to find them! And the author is very creative. This particular poem has quite an interesting style too (I don’t know what it’s called though).

u/dontrowaway Jan 18 '26

It’s sooooo good.

u/Grashley0208 Jan 18 '26

It’s been so long since I’ve witnessed a fresh Schnoodle 🥲

21

u/KittenFace25 Jan 18 '26

Same, and this is the second one that I've come across organically in the past week!

31

u/PrimarisHussar Jan 18 '26

I intentionally don't look at Schnoodle's profile because it's like stumbling across a whimsical fae creature when you do find one in the wild

12

u/KittenFace25 Jan 18 '26

Same, that why I said "organically" in my comment. It's more special to just come across a schnoodle in the wild than it would be to follow them and read every comment. 😊

u/IllustriousHedgehog9 Jan 19 '26

I once commented on a fresh Schnoodle, and was honoured with my own poem as a reply.

Highlight of my life!!! Schnoodle is such a treasure. https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/eb8M2us113

u/KittenFace25 Jan 19 '26

Oh, my. 🥹 What an honor. Thanks for sharing.❤️

P.S., I have an orange, so...I get it. 😉🧡

I didn't need these tears at this time of the morning!

Goddamn ninja onions!

u/Alert-Disaster-4906 Jan 18 '26

Awww, this reminds me of my old grey girl, panthypants. She only drooled for me. Usually while standing on my chest, looking down at me. My eyes were dripped upon, several times. I strangely miss that. Thx for the sweet memories 🩶🤍

12

u/s_mitten Jan 18 '26

My cat also drools when lying on my chest, however she likes to lie quite a bit closer to my head, so I have had cat drool fall on my (luckily closed) mouth more than once...

u/Embarrassed-Shop9787 Jan 22 '26

Hahahaha same

And I cringe so hard but don't want to move to disturb her

u/Bring_a_towel_42 Jan 18 '26

I don't think this one has the brain cell right now 😂🤤

u/HistoricalSuspect580 Jan 18 '26

u/MightyDyke Jan 18 '26

Incredibly sweet, I read it out loud to my wife and she agrees. 💚

u/anniecet Jan 18 '26

You got actual tears to spring to my eyes here. Nice one.

u/FriendlyRecording199 Jan 18 '26

That was so beautiful!!! Wow you really have an unbelievable talent!! Thank you for that. I don’t even have a cat and my heart is overflowing!!

Aw cool, my first fresh semi-fresh schnoodle!

u/BrittleBitz Jan 18 '26

My very first Fresh Schnoodle with a side of soft, drippy gingy baby. What a day to be alive 💖

u/wheresdirtydan Jan 18 '26

oh my god i got 3 lines in before i had to check who wrote it. nature is healing ❤️

u/Fickle-Raspberry6403 Jan 18 '26

It's been forever since I've seen a schnoodle!

u/boywholovetheworld Jan 18 '26

Damn this is the biggest dopamine boost I had in the entire month reading this, absolute gem of a person and skill you have

2

u/dantzbam Jan 19 '26

This was the best one I've seen you do. That put a huge smile on my face. Don't ever stop doing these!

u/Unlikely_Ad7722 Jan 19 '26

SCHNOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

u/Shinygami9230 Jan 19 '26

Woah, this is great. Can’t believe this is the first time I’ve seen your work, sir!

1

u/weird_horse_2_die_on Jan 18 '26

Yeah, my girl is a blissey drooler too... the worst is if she shakes her lil head and gives me a spray.

1

u/FarmAcceptable4649 Jan 18 '26

You should get his thyroid checked out... has he/she lost a lot of weight?

1

u/Only_Impression4100 Jan 18 '26

Also well hydrated so that's good.

1

u/spider_speller Jan 18 '26

We had a happy drooler. Cuddle time or just a comfy, cozy spot would have her drooling away.

1

u/carpe_fatum Jan 18 '26

My cats drool when they are beyond content. This is normal

1

u/ADGx27 Jan 18 '26

Absolutely geeked up

1

u/PhDOH Jan 18 '26

I spent a couple of months taking one of my boys to the vet to find out why he kept dribbling on me. Turned out he was really happy to see me.

1

u/PatrickJr Jan 18 '26

Yeah for real! He's loving it!

1

u/Freakjob_003 Jan 19 '26

My cat absolutely does this when he's content; in fact, it was part of what made me fall in love with him at the shelter I volunteered at. He was (and is) very shy, but he starts drooling after just a bit of good scritches/petting.

I think it may have something to do with their teeth, going out on a limb? Fluffy has r/fangies (you're welcome), so it's easier for saliva to drip. The only time he feels safe is when I'm in bed, and he immediately flops into my arm. Then I have to duck my face every so often when I pause, because he'll shake his head and drool flies everywhere.

Your kitty is happy! No need to worry!

1

u/Weorth Jan 21 '26

My orange son does the same thing when I pet him. He's a drooler. I've only ever noticed this in male cats though... Cause I had another kitty who was a massive drooler too when they were relaxed. And now your kitty is the third sighting.
