Angelical Abby asked:


Pheromones are compounds secreted by the females of many insects to attract males. One of these compounds contain 80.78% C, 13.56% H, and 5.66% O. A solution of 1 g of this pheromone in 8.50 g of benzene freezes at 3.37 degrees Celsius. What are the molecular formula and the molar mass of the compound? ( the normal freezing point of pure benzene is 5.50 degrees celsius )

Dummy asked:


Okay so pheromones are produced by our bodies and are used to attract the opposite sex, right? Well what if a female sprayed herself with male pheromones or vice versa; would it attract a heterosexual female to that other woman or would it not work? Same goes for males, would it work or would it not?

I saw it in Ocean’s 13 and I’m just wondering.

M. Fether asked:


I have a 6-7 year old male cat who, for the past three years or so, has a habit of ****** or “spraying” on things. We have a younger female cat, she’s about three years now, and it has been going on before we got her. We also recent got an even younger female cat, about 1, 2 years. When she arrived, he started it more, but that was obviously territorial.

He has backed off in doing it, but when you walk into the bathroom and get a terrible smell of cat urine, maybe 2-3 times a week, it is very difficult. We have brought him to the vet, he has no urinary tract infection. We have one dog and have always had her since we first got him, they get along fine.

It’s becoming a real problem, we have tried everything to get it to stop and the only thing that works are some feline pheromone diffusers, but they are become rather costly.

There is an option of removing his glands, we have been offered by a vet, but it is expensive and we are unable to afford it.

Putting up with this is getting old. We love him dearly, but it’s a test. He focuses on canvas cloth, and wet items (i.e. towels) and does not always limit himself to corners. Once even we found a large spot on an armchair.

Please help! Anything to make him stop this will be lovely!
He IS in fact neutered. Has been ever since we got him. The female cats as well are all spayed.

Amanda K. asked:


During mating season, male snakes exhibit tracking behavior when they follow chemical pheromone trails deposited on the ground by females. Design a controlled experiment to determine wheter a male garter snake will track only a female of his species or will also follow the female of a related species.

Smp asked:


I am at the end of my rope with my male Bengal. He is close to getting the boot! My male is almost two years old. He started ****** outside of his litter box a while ago (not sure really how long). He is neutered and de-clawed. Prior to Dec 08 he would occasionally *** in our bath tub. This was odd as this is where he also like to get a drink at times. We were affected by hurricane Ike. Prior to the storm we had Berber carpet through out the house. When we did repairs we put down laminate flooring in the majority of the house. Recently I purchased an area rug to place under my drum set. The rug had a fairly high knap to it. I noticed when I put the rug down he was instantly drawn to it….sniffing around etc. When he pee’d on it I could not get the smell out, so I threw it away. Even when the rug was not there, he went right back to the same spot and pee’d on the floor. I tried a couple of products, including a pheromone spray. One product that is designed to act as a barrier worked for a little while. I sprayed this on the new area rug that I bought. This rug was more like Berber. We took him to the vet and all systems seem to check out. I really don’t know why he is doing this and I really don’t know what to do.
We have two cats and two litter boxes. The boxes are kept clean. Nothing has changed in their diet or in their litter. My female cat is just fine….other than being VERY vocal….which is another subject altogether. The male has had one surgery to remove an item he swallowed. A portion of his intestines had to be removed as a result of the surgery.
PLEASE HELP!!

Ivy asked:


My male cat, Loki has been marking by my front door and under my son’s crib. He is fixed btw! I have used vinager and laundry detergent to clean it which doesn’t get all the smell out along with baking soda. I have also tried lemon juice to deter him from doing it again. Btw, the lemon juice hasn’t worked. Anyway, I have heard that pet stores sell a pheromone spray that will stop the marking. Something about not ****** in “happy spots” LOL. Any help about cat marking would be appreciated. Thanks!

flower gal asked:


I had pantry/flour moths in my kitchen cupboard and used the pheromone traps to trap the males but I seem to have some of the moths in my bedroom flying around and cannot catch them with my traps (which only attact male moths) so I am assuming they must be females and I am afraid they might be laying eggs in my bedroom and get in my clothes but I don’t know if they will get in clothing items or only food items. Does anyone know? Help!!
