nuzzlers
Those who nuzzle
Nuzzlers are those who nuzzle—pressing or rubbing gently with the nose or face, typically as a gesture of affection.
The word usually describes animals or people in tender moments: The kittens were eager nuzzlers, pushing their faces against anyone who held them.
It can also refer to objects designed for nuzzling, like soft toys.
