Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006Cats and bleach?
Mew has a thing about bleach that scares me. We use a bleach cleaner to clean up after spills, furballs, projectile vomit on the floor etc. After the spot has been wiped up and the floor glitters with just a bit of moisture from the bleach remnants, Mew will come and roll in the spot, when moved he still rolls like he has been exposed to catnip. I worry about him getting into a bleach spill or an open bottle of bleach. Is anybody elses cats attracted to bleach? I've never seen a cat like bleach, why does he like bleach? p I don't know but some cats do. My mom's Tycho is the same way. You have to be really careful not to spill it. > Mew has a thing about bleach that scares me.

If I've been cleaning & I've got a residue of bleach smell on my hands.... oh dear... it sends Francis *crazy* Like a 'nip high but only 10 times higher!

Strange, wonder why? Altough I am glad to know my cat is like the rest and not strange! ;-) Happy evening, Countrystuff~and owner MoonShadow {{>^,,^<}} Spoiled Cat like all the rest :)) > Mew has a thing about bleach that scares me.

I've > never seen a cat like bleach, why does he like bleach? p Yes, cats seem to be attracted to bleach, almost like catnip. Vino loves freshly bleached clothes that still have that chlorine smell. He likes to rub on them. We make sure he can't get at any bottles of bleach.

Now the question is: what is the physiological basis for a cat being so attracted to that smell? Joyce > Mew has a thing about bleach that scares me.

You could ask the same question about humans, what one person loves another finds disgusting. Wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same.

This might explain why Sarrasine has a thing about the toilet brush.... I wonder if it also explains why since I started using a mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide, as soon as I lie down, Sarrasine comes along, sniffs my mouth and licks my lips Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
