    I’m going to meet a friends’ cats for the first time this afternoon, I’m looking after them this weekend while she goes interstate, and I know from previous conversations that they’re obsessed with tea tree oil… so I’ve spritzed myself with tea tree oil. THEY WILL LOVE ME.

      Funny, I would’ve thought it was such a strong smell it’d put them off. Weird what some animals like. A friend has a cat that loves tea bags.

        Their owner told me she cleans her shoes with tea tree oil and they go nuts over her shoes afterwards so I sprayed a tea tree oil and water solution on my legs and shoes and yep… they loved it. One was licking my leg.

      One of my cats LOVES my mums feet. Trips her over to get to them and smooches, rolls and other exhaulted behaviour. It got the better of me and I asked mum why. It’s vinegar. She soaks her feet in vinegar every day and Oreo loves it. Cats are strange creatures.
