There's something that I have noticed both cats do. It's something that I haven't figured out what triggers it or why it happens.
They're both indoor cats and don't venture outside except on a lead. They're both healthy, worm free, worm free and are very active.
Anyhow, on occasion they will sniff something, it can be the wall, the Christmas tree that we bought last week, the floor, the fish tank or the mirror and they seem to go into a trance of sorts. They get a look like they're on the Catnip Ride of Fun and open their mouths and pant. Sometimes even DROOL!!! And then they roll over the area or rub it.
At first, I thought, Ok...it must have been because of the scent of another animal but I'm pretty sure I've eliminated all those since I've gone round the house twice with enzyme cleaners and a UV light. Then I thought ok, traces of catnip but they only ever have the catnip near the catpost or at their feeding area. And I can't explain the Christmas tree or mirror. And the last tenants that lived in this house had dogs so I don't think it could possibly be the scent of another cat. And both of them have never been up to Caped Crusader, (stray that I've been befriending and feeding) and vice versa.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions? It's not that I'm worried, I'm just puzzled. Probably just as puzzled as they get when I sit down and happily read a book. To them, it's just paper. Surely that can't be fascinating!
