Tiger Balm brings out the Tiger in my cat!
I have this really annoying itchy spot on my shoulder, so last night
before bed I put some Tiger Balm on it. Well! Insta-cat appeared. Vino was all over me trying to lick my shoulder and hands. I had to keep pushing him away and he kept coming back, purring loudly. He also displayed great interest in the (closed) container. I ended up having to put it under my pillow because I couldn't find a spot to hide it from him without getting out of bed. For a while he even tried to burrow under the pillow to get at it! Oh, and some must have gotten on the corner of my book because he bit into it and shook it like a mouse he was trying to kill! It was most definitely a strong reaction, almost like catnip. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

It makes your skin feel hot when you put it on, used for sore muscles but also great for insect bites, etc. http://www.tigerbalm.co.uk/intro.html -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Yep, I agree---before I read the previous post, I was gonna say it must have some sort of mint in it. Catnip is in the mint family, so mint really drives 'em wild, too. My cats steal peppermints out of my purse from time to time, but you should see what a nice tin of Altoids does to them! They both just lie there all slobbery -jowled and googly-eyed just hugging the tin and dreaming of...........whatever cats dream of. Until Mother takes the tin away. (at risk of a good thrashing of the claws. How dare I take away her Altoids!?) -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |
