I reckon it's something to do with the residual smell on your hands being similar to some of the chemicals found in catnip or the like
Catnip causes a well known and (thankfully) short lived physiological response in cats which can be best described as a mild delerium.
A previous cat of mine loved to rub her face on your hands after using bleach but unfortunately rubbing quickly turned to the dreaded four-paw clamp with claws followed by biting Ouch !!
Interestingly, catnip doesn't seem to lose its long term potency and will often invoke the same response time after time. Even more so if you manage to get hold of home-made cat toys filled to the brim with catnip rather than the less potent mass produced ones - just be prepared for the consequences

At six months old they're commencing to hit puberty and should be slowing down on the quantity of energy they favor in an afternoon. each and each and every cat is diverse interior the quantity of energy they favor. It relies upon on their age, length and interest factor. seem on the bag of dry nutrition, there should be a chart that tells you the way a lot to feed in an afternoon. The chart is only a straightforward handbook, not an absolute. And be positive to degree the quantity of nutrition you're putting out; use an easily measuring cup to be positive you're getting to same quantity each and each and every feeding. some cats choose "sparkling" nutrition more advantageous than once on a daily basis, so attempt dividing the on a daily basis quantity of dry nutrition into 2 feedings. to carry close in the adventure that they are getting too a lot or not adequate, run your palms over their rib cages. try to have the ability to easily sense the ribs. If the ribs are sticking out, they don't seem getting adequate. once you may want to dig by skill of fat to discover their ribs, they're being over fed. Cats are in simple terms like people, too a lot nutrition and too little exercising will cause them to fat. And inspite of what others have stated, cats do not self regulate nicely. Ask any vet and they are going to probably allow you to already know between the most important wellbeing issues at their health center is overweight pets. If cats self regulated then there doesn't be a favor for cat meals designed for weight-loss. quit feeding the canned nutrition, that's oftentimes water and would make a contribution to dental issues and picky eaters. in the adventure that they try to get into the trash, it would want to have extra to do with something that smells good or in simple terms searching for something to do. placed the trash the position they could't get to it to stay away from any unintentional poisoning and provide an excellent style of toys and interactive play. in the adventure that they have got not been already, get them spayed/neutered, or you'll finally end up with extra kittens quickly or the ever stunning situation of them marking each and every thing they could. good success.

cats love the smell of bleach, when a cat walks on the work tops or soil where they are not ment to everyone seems to wash it down with bleach, so the cat goes back and so it goes on and on and on, also if you want your cat to use a certain place in the garden as a loo, put bleach down and he will go there, to stop them use vinegar, i have also discovered that vinegar works to stop foxes soiling the garden

Get a plant called "cat mint". Cats love the leaves of the plant. That will give your monster something else to go crazy over and it will be allot healthier.

OMG I thought my cat was the only one that did that, she rubs her face up my hands and sometimes if i just leave my hand on the sofa she will kick them with her back legs and really bite them, I think it has something to do with the cholorine, even when i am cleaning she will come up to me and go ballistic!!

Because it's a suicidal cat and it's trying to kill itself by getting Bleach into it's system then it'll die and you'll have the RSPCA on your doorstep investigating you for animal abuse and and the killing of an animal.
