"Laura R." wrote in message .. . circa Mon, 26 Jan 2004 19:22:23 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Mary ) said, Put some vanilla on the back of her neck, the other cat's neck and your wife's wrists when you expose them to each other. Intriguing. I have never heard of this. Why? To mask their smells from each other. Instead of smelling the wife's and other cat's smells, the scared cat will just smell vanilla. Since she'll already smell like vanilla herself, the others will be less threatening to her. People often forget that memory isn't just visual for cats- it's highly aural and olfactory. Cats identify their owners more by the way they sound and the way they smell than by what they look like. The sense of smell in people has been proven to hold the longest sensory associations (think about how the smell of pumpkin pie brings back instant associations with Thanksgiving for many people, for example), so it stands to reason that this may also be the case in animals with much more highly developed senses of smell than we have. Aside from being a good masking agent, the scent of vanilla shouldn't have any negative associations for the cat unless she was attacked by a giant sugar cookie. G Ah, the old attack cookie ;o)

If you are trying to make a point, there's better ways to do that than to act like you killed your cat because someone called you a name. This is Usenet. Many people don't use kid gloves and people call other people names. It's called life. Not always nice, but it happens. I've done it now and again when people make me angry. If you really killed your cat because of someone's post to you, you're a lot worse than an idiot and the words I'd call you shouldn't be read by minors, so I'll keep them off Usenet. -- -- ~kaeli~ Never mess up an apology with an excuse. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace

I'm afraid I have to stick by my initial impression. The OP's ensuing remarks kind of reinforces it, now doesn't it?
