Sadly, last month marked the exit of our two cats. The Abyssinian had been very sick for at least two years, but modern medicine kept him alive until he passed 16. The other one, a Norwegian Forest, had been sort of silent and sleepy for some time. We put it down to age, but X-rays showed a tumor on the lungs...

Anyway, here is the new cat in residence. He is a Korat and at 15 weeks still a kitten.

A few moments later... This is the reason why I bought wood pet gates to create a boundary between these two when nobody is around.

https://www.physicsforums.com/attachments/236736 Why isn't there a dog-lovers forum as well? My dog is veeery offended- or maybe cats have begun their journey to world domination by getting to the physicists first and not allowing one to be created...seems fishy either way?:)o_O

Looks to me like the special fragrance is shared all around. It's just that some of it has a distinctly crotchy musk, and some of it carries the pungency of the bum.
