Question:

I have a rather embarrassing question. I am the "mom" of two wonderful female cats, each over a year old. One of my girls likes to sniff, rub her face against and roll on my dirty underwear. Why does she do this? Also, I would like to make them some homemade cat food. Can you suggest a recipe?.

L.G., Alexandria, Va Dec 12, 2004

Answer:

Your cat's attraction to your dirty underwear is not perverse, but quite natural. You produce various pheromones, some similar to other mammals. Cats rub against each other to share their body scent, a socially bonding ritual. That's probably what she's doing when she's rubbing on your underwear.For a basic cat-food recipe from which you can build a varied, healthful whole-food diet, see my Web site at http://www.twobitdog.com/DrFox/Dr-Fox-Cat-Food-Recipe.
