Gold Bond Cream +CAt = Freakout
Greetings:
I searched this group for "Gold Bond," and had no luck, so I'm trying this new post. (I also Googled similar terms with minimal success. I was only able to find anecdotal items that echo my experience. The Gold Bond website is of no help & they only have snail-mail contact info.) I put some Gold Bond cream on my hand, & my cat immediately came over to sniff. I let him sniff, but accidentally some got on his nose. He licked it off and then the odd behavior began. It was like catnip x1000. Within two seconds, he went completely nuts. Rubbing, rolling, pawing & finally he grabbed a shoe, embraced it & began to paw & chew on it. Obviously I'll never let him get near this stuff again, but wonder... What in the world happened? What chemical caused this reaction, and how did it happen so quickly? Thanks for your help? |

I don't know. I've never see Gold Bond, does it have a strong smell?
We had a cat that went crazy over Absorbine Jr. Okay, I just looked up the ingredients in Gold Bond. It has menthol in it which is probably what's affecting your cat, just like the menthol did in the Absorbine for our cat.

Here're a copy of sites talking about cats and menthol.
One also talks about cats and bleach. We've got a couple of them affected by that kitty-drug too. -Rhonda http://www.paws.org/cas/resources/fa...taversives.php http://www.sdreader.com/php/ma_show.php?id=51 |

Here's what it has for active ingredients:
Water, Propylene Glycol, Petrolatum, Stearyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Mineral Oil, Steareth 21, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Methyl Salicylate, Thymol, Eucalyptol, Triethanolamine, Iodopropyl Butylcarbamate, Diazolidinyl Urea I was really hoping to find somebody that has actual knowledge of the interactions of any of these specific ingredients. Let me know if you come across anything. Thanks for your help, though. |

What cream was it -- the foot cream? All the gold cream ones I found had
menthol somewhere in it, but those were anti-itch. Anyway, take a look at the fragrances too. If you want specific interactions I think you need to ask a scientist with an interest in cats. I spoke to one once about the scent of valerian root capsules, which will also makes some of our cats roll around and act drunk.
