Wikipedia's discussion on talc includes:


"Several studies have established preliminary links between talc
and pulmonary issues,[2] lung cancer,[3][4] skin cancer and ovarian
cancer.[5] This is a major concern considering talc's widespread
commercial and household use. In 1993, a US National Toxicology
Program report found that cosmetic grade talc caused tumours in
animals, even though it contained no asbestos-like fibres.[3]
Scientists have been aware of the toxicity of talc since the
late 1960s, and in 1971 researchers found particles of talc
embedded in 75 percent of the ovarian tumors studied.[6] However,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers non-asbestiform
talc, that is talc which does not contain potentially carcinogenic
asbestiform amphibole fibers, to be Generally recognized as safe
(GRAS) for use in cosmetics. [7]"

Yea, I read that. *I didn't say I let her lick it, just that she enjoys
the taste. *My current cheapo stuff has mostly cornstarch in it, anyway


And me likewise -- I do not let him lick it -- he just does. *And I
prevent him from doing so.

No, your cat did something cute that you just questioned innocently,
so you must WANT to kill your cat. There are some fanatics here, get
used to it. But I'm always skeptical/careful/scared about powders and
such. I lock the cats in other rooms when I vacuum if I use Carpet
Fresh. I don't want them getting ANY ideas!!!
