Tiger Balm UPDATE
Well, I did it again the next night but Vino wasn't fussed with the
Tiger Balm. I guess he got all his cravings out of his system the night before??? Strange cat, that one. On the other hand, I had a good sleep again that night, but I didn't use it last night and woke up at 2am hacking. Hmmm, there might be something to this trick... -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Unfortunately I didn't have any Vick's, but I did have Tiger Balm. I figured it must be close to the same thing so I tried it. I got on the bed and oped the jar of Tiger Balm. Vino jumped up on the bed and approached me. I held out the jar for him to sniff and it was like he hit an invisible force field that prevented him from getting any closer. It was so funny the way he instantly stopped dead in his tracks and jerked his head back a bit. And this from a distance of probably a foot from the jar! Anyway, I coated the soles of my feet and put some socks on. Then I went to bed. I was lying in bed reading when suddenly Vino jumped up and attacked my feet under the doona! Wow, I thought, he's sure playful tonight, he hasn't done "bedmice" for ages! But it just went on, and on, and on! He was burrowing my thick winter doona like crazy, trying to dig through to my feet. I finally realized that it was the (by now much fainter) smell of the Tiger Balm that was driving him crazy. It got to the point where I had to push him away a couple of times, I was afraid for my doona cover. But he just kept returning, glazed look in his eyes, purring non-stop. Finally he must have had his fill and he sacked out in a catnip-high type trance and went to sleep. As for the cough remedy, I didn't cough all night and had a great sleep, so it must have worked. I will try it again tonight. We'll see if Vino has the same reaction again! -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Alas having his "bits" annointed with tiger balm sort of cooled his ardour so nothing was applied to me apart from a lot of rude words! Oh, dear. Time for a few words with whomever had told you it was an aphrodisiac! What *were* they thinking?! Joyce |

Tiger Balm
Stosh actually likes the smell of such things; but his favorite is Gold Bond
itch cream. He is all over me and Louie when we put this stuff on, and we have to do it at night and cover up quickly, or else4 he'll try to lick it.
