Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2004cat nuts for Altoids scent!
Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? I have a friend who eats Altoids. When she comes over, my cat goes nuts - he goes to her and starts nuzzling around her pockets very persistantly trying to find the source of the smell. It's gotten to the point that even if she doesn't have any, he still acts this way! I've never seen him act that way over anything else. Wierd cat! > Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? It's mint. Cheeks does the sniff-while-mouth-hangs-open thing after I brush my teeth. It's funny. She can be ignoring me, and I puff some air her way, up goes the little nose and she sniffs and sniffs like, "ahhhhhh! ambrosia!" circa Sun, 09 May 2004 16:14:20 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Mary (rosefan@email.com) said, > > Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? > > It's mint.

Given that catnip is a member of the mint family, it's probably not all that surprising, I'd guess. BTW, nice imagery. :-) Laura  SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. > Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? Never had any Altoids arounf to test with but My wife's cat Sammy gose nuts over the strawberry shampoo scent in my son's hair. If he lays on the floor the cat will drap herself around his head, purring and kneading while making the sappiest goo goo eyes you ever saw. Apologies for the typos.

There's a little deli by my job that has a small calico cat. Sometimes they give her a peppermint teabag to play with. She goes crazy, like most cats do with catnip. My cats love catnip, but don't really like anything minty. They back away if I offer them the tube of toothpaste and completely ignore mint teabags.

She'll meow and beg and beg for some. Of course I don't give her any. If I don't put my tooth brush away really fast, she'll lick it. I think it's the peppermint oil that's in it. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |
