My cat is being a wierdo...he is lickikng the floor and then rubbing himself on it...whats up with that?

Question

I am not sure what he is so interested in. He also did this with one of my flip flops. It doesn't happen all the time. Just today. I did mop the floors with Mr Clean...Maybe that has something to do with it

Answer 1

our cats do that too.  it's really funny.  someone probly walked through something outside and then walked on the floor and he can smell it. its cat normal.  LOL

Answer 2

My cat sometimes does that.

I think its a way to clean his/herself, if you notice cats l**k their paws and then rub behind their ears to clean there. If your cat can't reach somewhere to l**k then he/she mights l**k the floor, then wipe his/her body against the floor.

Answer 3

Cats have a very good sense of smell so there might be something on the floor that he seems to think smells very good.  My cat tends to do this when I put on foot lotion and then walk through the house.  Most foot lotion has a minty smell and cats like mint.  Catnip is in the mint family so it may smell the same to them.
