there's some weird chemical in clean sheets

Why do cats go bonkers when fresh sheets are put onto a bed? Please tell me if your cat has a completely different personality when a bed is being made... cuz mine does. If you've read my previous posts, you'll remember Joey's not all that bright and he just sits and stares. There's no excitement with Joey, so he not a part of this equation. It's Slippers. She totally flips out and digs really fast into the sheets like she thinks she can dig into the mattress itself and find something. The funniest part is her head. It shakes. From left to right, at the fastest pace possible. Like Katherine Hepburn's head used to do. Oh, hush, I'm not being mean, everyone knows what I'm talking about. But much faster than Katherine Hepburn's.
And her eyes. They are bigger than her her face. They become ENORMOUS. Like an owl in the middle of the night. She rips around on the bed and just goes insane. OK. That was it. That's all I had. I'm so thrilling.
She eats dryer sheets too. Which is so f#cking exciting, especially love it when she does that. The last time that happened the vet had to cut her stomach open and untie her intestines that had become tied together with 'some sort of fiber', as the vet described it. I won't be paying for that surgery next time Slippers. Remember that when you are using your paw to hold down that dryer sheet and pulling off stringy bits and swallowing them.
