Cat shopping!

Would someone please hypothesize about why one of the new cats keeps biting the olive oil soap on the rim of the bathtub?

To remove the taste of cat butt.

Some cats have a thing for olives, as in a catnip-like passion. Mine, sadly, are immune to the allure of both olives and catnip. Relevant link:

It would be cool to have a cat with a bizarre yet explicable habit like this.

If by “remove” you mean “enhance,” you are a discerning observer of cat-nature.
