moff, Sometimes when I'm in bed and it is cold outside, my furkids will come and sleep around my legs. They add comfort and warmth , but a bit restrictive when it come time to move or turn over. However, I do not use any kind of ointments (at least not yet) and especially one that attracts my cats. Your description of Chester's antics sounds to me that he would probably eat the stuff if it were fed him! Does he lick it off your knees?
