I guess when you're used to licking your butt, Icy Hot probably doesn't taste too bad.

[Bunny]

I woke up with a big knot in my shoulder, causing a lot of neck pain, so I rubbed a little bit of Icy Hot onto my neck. I sat down and my two boy cats jumped up on the back of the chair and started furiously licking my neck. I keep swatting at them but they will not stop! It's like catnip to them or something. :shrug: I can't imagine that it tastes good, but it may be a refreshing change of pace from the other things they lick. :eyes:

1. i thought you put the icy hot on your butt... which was hard enough to figure

but you the licking your butt thing really threw me...

funny

[WCGreen]

12. that would hurt...

[alarimer]

2. my cat hates that stuff.

He will shy away from me if I have it on.

[madmom]

3. My cat did that when I put Ben-Gay on the back of my neck. He climbed up the back

of my chair to get to me. I wonder if it's the mint?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

26. My Mom's cat will lap as much Ben-Gay up....

as possible when she puts it on herself. And better not be in his way when he smells it. :D

4. My mom's cat will tongue-kiss you

after you just brushed your teeth. Dunno if it's the mint in it. ;)

5. If you have lotion on your legs, Ginger becomes a leg-lickin' little Casanova.

I learned a long time ago (he's 10 years old) to put lotion on my legs ONLY if: 1) I was putting on pants PDQ; 2) He wasn't going to be around for a while; or 3) I would be able to race straight to the bed and under the covers.

Yeah, I don't like for him to ingest stuff not meant for kitty consumption.

ETA: He's a freak for toothpaste and/or mouthwash breath, too. So I brush my teeth AFTER he's had breakfast. Otherwise, he'd be satisfied to just lick my face for breakfast. :eyes:

6. My boy Leo's a freak for toothpaste, too.

When I'm brushing my teeth, he hops right up on the sink and puts his nose about a molecule away from my face. I sometimes have to get a little acrobatic in order to get everything brushed. :D

8. This is your official invitation to Switzerland.

Ginger says, "I love her already." :D

To which I replied, "I loved her FIRST!"

:hug:

:loveya:

[Bunny]

10. Awesome!!!

Switzerland's now first on the EUROPE itinerary! I love you and Ginger back, and you tell that little boy that I'll be packing some leg lotion in my bag. :D :loveya:

[tigereye]

7. hmm, what is in that stuff?

:rofl:


Hey lady! :hi: What's goin on?

[Bunny]

11. Hey hon!

:hi: Nothing much going on - pretty dreary weather, innit? How's everything with you?

[tigereye]

19. yeah, the weather sucks... too cold and rainy

just kid in high school, thinking about career change, home repair, all that fun stuff. :D

[suninvited]

9. I had a cat once that adored tea tree oil

if I had any in my lotion he knew it immediately and would not stop licking me until I would shower away all the evidence of the tea tree. My other cat was totally indifferent to it.

[Richardo]

13. !!

:spray:

Sounds like you're getting a little cabana boy action. :D

[Bunny]

14. !!!

I wish! ;) :D :hi: Richardo! :loveya:

15. Mint is related to catnip

So a catnip-positive kitty will usually also enjoy mint. Ms Marble used to follow me around when I had a cold so she could get a whiff of cough lozenges on my breath; that was my first experience with alterna-stoner cats :rofl:.

22. Our neighbor's cat thinks our mint is Bolivian marching powder.

More than once I've caught her doing a snake dance through it.

[blogslut]

16. My cat goes nuts for menthol/camphor type stuff

She acts like a cat does with catnip when I put my Gold Bond cream on bug bites.

I think it has something to with minty-type smells. Catnip is from the mint family. Not sure about the plants that produce camphor or menthol but I don't know much about anything really.

17. Who here really knows what butt tastes like?

[sarge43]

21. Chicken. n/t

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. Thank you, sir.

When you speak, I :spray::applause:.

Can't say personally, but I figured if everything else tastes like chicken, butt probably does.

[Ghost in the Machine]

23. Tossed Salad??

or so I hear.... :shrug:

[blue_roses_lib]

18. When we were growing up...

If my brother or I got a chest cold, mom would get out the vicks vapor rub or the mentholatum, and put some on our chests. Our two girl cats got downright aggressive with the licking, bare skin, through the blanket, or through the pajamas. My two boy cats now?? Couldn't care less. Love the nip tho.

[Demoiselle]

20. Excuse me, but you are all sharing TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

Good heavens. I"ve had to tell my kitners to leave the room.
