Jungle cats and perfume

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.

Fancy Gift

My sister who lives in Florida sent this photo of some fancy perfume she received as a Christmas gift.

We usually stay home quietly on New Year's Eve, this year is no exception. How about you?
