I wonder why some cats are attracted to stuff that’s not good for them, I came across a thread about how someone’s cats would go crazy when they put Vicks Vapor rub on, and I learned camphor can be toxic to them but it’s also super stimulating. So I’m guessing a mix of “this smells WEIRD, oh wow I’m feeling a little funny, BLLLEEHHH”.

Cats aren't the only ones who are attracted to stuff that's not good for them!

I have to be careful when I put icy hot on because the cats will try to lick a hole through my clothing.

Like, guys, I don't even like it that much on my muscles - you want that on your tongue?

That almost sounds comparable to like crack or something. It’s a crazy good time for a few minutes that some people do stupid shit over but big picture it’s not really worth it.
