Why does my cat bite my husband after he has showered?

Cats have extremely sensitive noses, and there are smells that they like or dislike. What attracts one cat might not concern another; it’s all about preferences. — TNS

Dear Joan,

I read an article about cats going crazy with certain smells. My cat bites my husband after he has showered. We know that the cat smells his body wash on him because it’s pretty strong, but just wondered why. He uses Old Spice and Irish Spring body washes. Just curious!
