Willow goes crazy for it. I try to use it when she isn't around. There is nothing like bleach for tea marks on counters, sinks, toilets, drains and scrubbing bins so I can't do without it completely. I even purposely use a cheap plastic bin from tesco as it can be bleached easily. I heart bleach  :evillaugh:

I use dilute bleach to clear up vomit, because it's safer than phenol based disinfectants. Sam goes potty, and acts like she's in heat. I have to keep her away from the 'wet spot' until it's thoroughly dry, then let her roll around in ecstacy. I think she thinks that an attractive tom has marked there.   :blow kiss:

My Jemilla used to go mad if she smelt it.

I dont know why but she loved it when and if I had recently had it on my hands she would try and lick them.

Milton bleach solution is ok to use on worktops, for cleaning food and water bowls etc.

Great thanks for that

My Jeannie absolutely loves the smell of bleach and will do anything to get near it. I have to be so careful.

it'll be the ammonia that is attracting them, this is why if you clean a soiled area with ammonia based products it will actually encourage the cat to go back and soil again.

nb..remember bleach is very dangerous and since she seems particularily attracted to it be extra  careful.

Oh god I am always extra careful hun don't worry

There is one that's safer than others. Is it Domestos? I can't remember  :doh:

My Elvis goes insane to it and if its over my hands she is like a mad cat rubbing herself all over my hands - in the end she gets so excited by it she starts biting my hands while in a death grip!
