What's your cats' favourite hand cream?

**Randi** · 02-09-2010, 01:14 PM

Fisters' has got to be Clinique's Aromatics Elixir! LOL! With this cold weather, my skin goes dry, so I use a handcream. I have two different ones at the moment... E45 and Aromatics Elixir. When I put on last mentioned, Fister goes crazy and tries to lick it off. I read in bed before sleeping and I simply have to wash it off, or he's all over me. I wonder if it's because he likes the taste or if it's because he's trying to help keep me clean.

How do your cats react to cream?

Filou is not so much into hand creams but he loves the aloe vera cream Siegmar uses

If he can got hold of this he will lick Siegmar's front until it's all rough again

Mac likes it when I use Oil of Olay Regenerist on my face. He likes the smell of that for some reason. Of course, his favorite is when I've been cooking chicken...

My little Nikita boy goes wild for Gold Bond Medicated Lotion. If I'm at the bathroom sink he will lick my legs until it turns into a little bite - ouch. If I'm in bed with my legs covered, they're safe, but goes for the back of my hands. If he'd just lick I wouldn't mind, but he's so crazy for it that I guess he wants to eat it, hence the bite. My other two don't seem to notice. Glad to hear there are other kitties out there with this fetish!

You use WHAT on your hands?

Ed's a poor boy.
He likes menthol, Vick's Vaporub.

Clinique...LOL, my mom would get attacked when she brought that out.

My RB Meezer Ming was addicted to BenGay. If I put it on at night before going to bed, I had to close the bedroom door to keep him out, otherwise I would get licked all night long. I think someone else here said their Meezer did the same thing - can't remember who tho.

I guess my boy wasn't too crazy then. What's with cats and menthol?????

**Pinot's Mom** · 02-10-2010, 11:16 AM

St. Ives Collagen Facial Creme in the jar. All I have to do is unscrew the lid and she's on the counter in a heartbeat trying to lick it off me. I use it on all my skin at this time of year. Pinot's a silly girl...

Well, I think we can safely conclude that cats' are into cream that smells nice. Still, I'm not sure it's because they like it, or if they want to clean us. I'm inclined to the opinion that they like the taste, because when I put Origins foot creme (with Menthol) on and leave my slippers by the bed, Fister will lick them too.

Hey, he'll lick any new slippers!

Richard, I can assure you, I'm as poor as Eddie, the Clinique cream I got as a present.

I think it has to do with being part koala.

Hee hee! that's not menthol, silly! That's eucalyptus!!

Do they make eucalyptus hand cream?

**orangemm** · 02-10-2010, 05:17 PM

Mine HATE the smell of hand lotion or cream. They take one sniff and take off!

**Catty1** · 02-10-2010, 05:18 PM

Oscar LOVES the Herbalife hand cream. It's aloe based and has a nice scent...but not sure what he likes about it! Will have to get some more one of these days. (It really is the best I have ever used!)
