I have on cat (Rascal) that flips out over Old Spice stick deordorant.

Shw has learned that when I get out of shower that I use it and will
not leave me alone until she gets her high!!  She looks like a kitten
trying to suckle the way she goes after my ubderarms!!  If I happen to
have any on my hands she will lick under evidently she gets it all and
actually at times bites my hands.  It is she is on a high.

And all this from a cat that otherwise is a "Look but do not touch"
cat!!

Anyone else have a cat that does this??  Just wondering.

Sorry about poor spelling in original post but here is a corrected
post!!  Hard to pay attention when you have 3 furbabies wanting your
attention like they do the first thing in the morning!!      :-)

Regarding spelling errors:  I have always been good at spelling, but my
computer seems to have a mind of its own.  I have checked for spelling
errors faithfully but when the printed version comes out there are errors.
The other day, I wrote the word "too"  and it printed "to".  Sometimes
wods are dropped or sentences inverted.  r

There is an example -- the "r" was dropped from the word and the "r"
appeared at the end nof the line.   Does anybody know why?   MLB

I had a cat who would act all goofy for olives but never anything like this.

I have one cat who does the same thing - only he uses (actually I use, he
sniffs) "Speed Stick" - especially musk scent. Is it the scent, or the other
stuff. The ingredients mention propylene glycol - isn't that what's in
antifreeze? If so, I've got to keep them away!!

Yep the same stuff keep cats away from it!  Apprently they like the
taste  but it's not good for their kidneys

No, that's polyethylene glycol.
Propylene glycol is used in food and medicines.
(and we cigar guys use it to regulate humidity in our humidors.)

I stand corrected also I didn't know that fact about humidors so I've
learnt my new fact for the day!

Mixed 50/50 with distilled water (in a hunk of floral Oasis foam) it
will either absorb or expel water to keep the humidity at 70%.

I have a cat who is similarly interested in Gold Bond extra stength
lotion.  Again, a product that  contains propylene glycol.  Regardless,
I do not give him access to it on my hands or any other way.  Seems to
provide a reall high!

I think there's an easy remedy for this problem.  Stop using old spice and
swich to something else.  You may like the smell but if it's unhealthy for
your pet then it should be replaced with another deodorant.

Perhaps not what you want to hear - but it seems the easiest way to address
the problem.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.  Guess it is time to try
different deordorant.
