Whenever I get home from swimming my cat couldn't be more happy to see me. He roles around all over my feet and legs rubbing and biting, I think he gets high off the chlorine. When I take my suit off and put it in the shower, he goes in and rolls all around in it purring and meowing. I think this is so funny...by the time I get out of the shower he is rubbing all over my flip-flops and usually falls asleep with his head on my flipflop.
So I was wondering if anyone elses cat loves chlorine? It really is the cutest thing, he is definately his momma's cat.

I had two kitties who both loved bleach and wet with pool water bathing suits too. My cats love cat nip and would chew the sock with it in it until it split open, then they would roll in it until they couldn't walk and were drooling... so cats like getting high. Evidently the bleach, pool water or cat nip didn't hurt them because one lived to be 15 and the other 17.
Okay, you pool manager types out there help me out here. Chlorine GAS takes the place of oxygen in the blood. Less oxygen, more of a buzz/rush/high? Could that be why cats like bleach and stuff soaked with pool water? But does liquid bleach and chlorinated pool water work the same way in cats as chlorine gas does?
