This article says that a zoo in London was asking for donations of perfume and aftershave for their jungle cats. Leopards, cheetahs, ocelots, jaguars and tigers love the scent of certain perfumes. Calvin Klein's 'Obsession for Men' is particularly popular. It seems that many perfumes contain a chemical called civetone, now artificially made, but is secreted naturally by civets from their anal glands. It has a musky scent. The article has a video showing the animal's reaction to the scent. They will paw at trees and rub their faces into logs.

Never know what one can learn from your friend on blogger.
No thank you. I dislike perfume for women as well as for men.
That is really strange!!!
