Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005They hate lotion
Samson won't come near me if I have any lotion of any kind on. He gets that same horrified look that he makes whenever he smells peppermint and he backs away from me quickly. Cleo doesn't look horrified about the lotion. She just gives me a nasty look that basically says, "I know you are not seriously thinking of rubbing me with that icky stuff on your hands." I already buy the least smelly ones I can find because I hate to smell the heavily perfumed lotions myself. I'm glad they don't like the smell though. I'd really hate to have cat hair stuck to my hands by lotion. Debra in VA >Samson won't come near me if I have any lotion of any kind on.

Reminds me of a story from my days as a pharmacy tech back in the old days, mid 70s. Now days pharmacies find it cheaper to buy a lot of the things we used to make, but back then we were making hand lotion. It was supposed to be for in patient and staff use, but the boss decided it was being used way too fast, so people must be taking it home. So he told me to double the amount of rose oil the recipe called for. We only made one batch that way, and it was still sitting on the shelves when I changed duty stations a year later. But it stopped the pilfering, there was a STRONG rose scent long after you used it.

Rose essential oil is supposed to be good for 'mature skin'. Winnie >> Reminds me of a story from my days as a pharmacy tech back in the old >> days, mid 70s.

Ever heard of Bag Balm? Originally sold in the late 1800's to prevent chapping of cow's teats from milking; it's a very thick grease. Just before bedtime smooth some on your hands and then put on cotton gloves and sleep in them. Makes your hands so soft and smooth. The first time I did this Persia thought the gloves were something to be killed so she attacked the gloves - while my hands were in them! It was so funny! She soon got used to them. I do this every couple of weeks (I can't sleep in gloves every night, otherwise how would I feel the soft kitty fur when she snuggles up next to me and I pet her?)

I guess cows had to worry about chapped bags in all that cold :) Walgreen's also sells plain white cotton gloves (at least around here).

I'm asking because I once tried that trick with regular lotion and my hands broke out in a rash (I'm *so* allergic to different things, besides just having "sensitive" skin).

Hugs, CatNipped >I think we'll need Howard's help here! It says 8-Hydroxy Quinoline sulfate >(0.3%) in a Petrolatum Lanolin base. I was going to to say plain lanolin. That's something we used to get in bullk, and then package in smaller containers for patient use. I don't remember adding anything to it, pretty sure we just melted it and poured in into 2 oz jars. Kind of messy stuff, greasy and sticks to everything, which I guess is why gloves would be needed if you're leaving it on overnight.

Steve, yup, the gloves are required unless you want grease all over your sheets, pillow cases and cats! My mom used to do this with petroleum jelly back in the 1940's; she and her sister used the cotton gloves too. I think the lanolin is better but heh... what do I know? I was born in the wrong time, I know that! Jill >> >I think we'll need Howard's help here!

I can only use Lubriderm "Seriously Sensitive" lotion because of that. Hugs, CatNipped > Hi CN, (Reading off my can of Bag Balm) The ingredients are 8-Hydroxyquinoline Sulfate .3% in a petroleum/Lanolin Base. My mom used it on her cows to prevent chapping after milking - she would wash their teats off with warm soapy water, rinse them, then milk them, and then rub the bag balm on. I have seen cows dragging their teats in the heavy snow, so anything you can do to help them feel better (and you not get kicked for grabbing a cracked teat) is a step in the right direction. <G> It is a antiseptic, and we also used it for general wound care on ourselves. Bag Balm for scratches & cuts, Old Spice for itchy bug bites. We smelled REALLY good! <G> Patti > <snip> > Do you know what the ingredients are?

Like I told Jill, I'm going to try it on an out-of-the-way spot on me and see if I react, then I'll give it a try on my hands. Hugs, CatNipped >> <snip> >> Do you know what the ingredients are?

A former boss used to breed them. When they had a pup whose mom's umbilical got wrapped around his paw and cut off the blood supply, resulting in a hairless paw, he wanted to have the pup put down. His wife said "NO WAY" and took the pup to the vet. The pup survived but wasn't "breeding stock" (stupid MF ex-boss, after the $600 per pup) but at his wife's instance they kept him. You go girl! He was a sweet pup. Just use the lotion on your hands! To quote Billy Crystal doing Fernando Lamas, "You look Marvelous!" Jill > >>>> <snip> > >>>> Do you know what the ingredients are?
