Spock's drug of choice
Neither of our cats respond to catnip. In fact, both seem to regard it
as noxious. Tonight I discovered, quite by chance, Spock's drug of choice - bleach. We don't use much bleach because we have a septic waste treatment and large quantities of bleach kills the septic and makes it smell much worse than usual (eeeeuuuuu!). Tonight, though, I had to use dilute bleach to clean some benchtops prior to re-organising half the house and, when I had finished, Spock was *all* over my hands - rubbing, purring, nibbling and generally acting like a total niphead. Of course, Spocky was also all over the benches I was trying to clean, but that was more fun than annoying (I don't mind kitty foot prints on my benches, unless they're food preparation benches). So, now I know. If I want to give my grey boycat a big thrill, I simply need to do some housework! Tish PS. the outcome of the inaugural Fancy Feast experiment was overwhelmingly positive. Both cats *loved* it and turned up their spoilt little noses the next day when I tried to impose their normal food on them. Lucky for me, they had forgotten by the day after and are back to their normal diet. Phew - I couldn't afford FF at the rate they eat it! |

Francis is the same. The smell of bleach affects him even more than 'nip. It's sort of like seeing a 'niphead turn into a crackhead ;-) Doesn't have that effect on Waffles or Marble, but on Francis: Jeykell & Hyde... |

It's funny, we've tried various flavors of FF, Friskies, El-cheap brands and what do our cats prefer? 9 lives tuna. They turn up their noses at anything else. It's the only kind or brand that all 4 devour. What's gonna happen when they get sick of it (like they always do)? kili |

I guess I'll have to buy some bleach, scrub my sink, dry my hands and see what happens. My furballs don't do catnip either. kili |

Otis freaks out if I've been swimming and don't wash my hair
afterwards, it must be the smell of chlorine. He once sat behind me on the sofa sniffed my head then dug his claws in my scalp and bit my head, needless to say I always wash my hair now!

Mom's Tycho is like that about bleach. Strangest thing.

With Stosh it's Gold Bond itch cream, or Peppermint Foot Lotion from The Body
Shop. He also chills to Ben Gay and Tiger Balm. He's still a niphead though. But I can't explain his fascination for topical analgesics. I'm waiting to find a bottle of Absorbine Veterinary Liniment (the smell alone could keep Buffalo heated through a winter) so I can really test him.

One of our cats went crazy for Absorbine Jr. She was a Siamese -- we thought that was the explanation. Rhonda |

I have to be careful when letting it soak in the toilet -- I close the lid and the bathroom door. That doesn't stop them afterwards from rolling around on the floor in front of the commode. Rhonda |
