The other day, I learned that my cat loves the smell of bleach. She didn't get to any of the cleaner I was using, but I freaked out a bit when I moved her away from the area and she started rolling around like she had just had catnip. Very odd.

Anyway, because I'm a bit overbearing, I wiped down all her paws and gave her some diluted sardine water "tea" just in case she sneaked a lick.

Cats are little weirdos.

@JakeA Both of our calicoes do this exact same thing, not just with areas where we’ve used bleach (used sparingly in our house - reserved for bathrooms), but also where we use a couple other cleaners (Zero Odor Pet & Rocco & Roxie). Both are supposed to be pet friendly. They really love Zero Odor. I can use that while they’re sound asleep & one or both will come running and roll around like it’s a field of catnip. Happy to see we’re not the only ones with cats with this particular weird habit! 😺

@JakeA Our 2 cats who do this aren’t from the same litter or anything - we adopted them almost a year apart. Our other cats don’t have any interest in the freshly cleaned areas like they do. So strange!
