Doesn't bother him, no discharge. Clear eyes and mouth and nostrils. I can't tell if it is soft, the area is much to small to check. It really didn't bother him at all when I tried, though.
Edit: As for injury, I don't THINK so. I keep my room door tightly closed when I go to work because my mom has a cat, but sometimes she brainfarts and forgets to keep it shut after going through my room to a storage area. So I guess there is the possibility of cat scratch. (FYI: In the past two days I have been keeping the screen/lid on because I found out about said brain farts.
