My cats always sniff around my mother-in-law when she comes for a visit. It's kind of embarrassing, she sits down and they head for the back of the couch so they can snoop! I wonder if hair care products use animal musk as part of their perfume. Just a thought.

My Neko will nuzzle in my hair if it's wet and when he's feeling really frisky, he claws my head and bites and pulls my hair. I think wet hair amplifies the animal smell of us even when masked by perfumes. I know when my animals are wet (especially the cats on the rare occasion that I bathe them) they smell gamey.
