My Cat Loves The Smell Of Bleach!

My cat is totally crazy over the smell of bleach. I had the smell on my hands and she was rubbing her face on them and licking them (they were clean). Why? (J.D. Morgan - California)

The only answer I can give to this is that cats like the smell of the strangest things. I have heard of cats loving the smell of everything from smelly socks to hand moisturizer. Obviously for your cat bleach is as good as catnip. I would not be concerned about this but I would make sure that you store the bleach is a place where your cat not come in contact with it.
