    Seriously, I just got back from a run and, as always, my cat jumps up on me. He starts licking the sweat off my arms then sprawls out across my very sweaty legs while I drink water. He's purring...

    That's a typical sign of FRC (Feline Renal Contraction). Take him to the vet immediately.

    It might be the salt in the sweat that's attracting him, or that it's your scent. I had one male cat that liked to lick plastic shopping bags.

    JointheSchwartz, I hate that I just instantly googled Feline Renal Contraction, that I haven't message boarded in so long that I can no longer detect sarcasm, and that even as I type this, I'm still wondering if there's something wrong with my cat's butt.

    My cat liked the smell of sweat and then it died of something completely unrelated.

    Renal != rectal. Not everything is about butts, geez. :p

    That said, yes, your cat is probably defective. Sweat is gross.

    Yes, Jello, but when something goes wrong renal-wise, you know you're going to have massive butt problems. Just sayin.

    It's been a long time since I've had biology, but I don't think kidneys are connected to butts :p

    Though your insistence on this matter leads me to conclude that your cat may actually be having a butt malfunction and you're trying to play it cool.

    "The kidney bone's connected to the butt bone..." Geeeeeeeeez! A long time since biology, indeed!

    (No, really, for some reason I thought if your kidneys failed, you couldn't poop. I'm an ENGLISH teacher okay. I just anal-yze Shakespeare all day. You know, "If the ass-ass-ination could trammel up the consequence..." "Double, double toilet trouble..." "Hey, kids, all literature is crap!" etc.)

    One of my cats likes the smell of my husband's shirts. She kneads and chews on them till she falls asleep.

    She also likes my alpaca wool gloves and carries them around pretending they're a dead rodent. Sometimes I find my gloves in her water bowl.

    I'm going to admit that I also did this just because I want to point out that this thread is the only hit when you Google it.

    Once when spending the night at a friends house one cat would jump in bed and dig hsi nose in my armpits. Some of us just stink so good.

    I would think you'd be in serious trouble if you had bones in your kidneys. Also, you sound like one perverted English teacher :eek:
