I would try the cat route before the rest. :0)

Actually, my cats sniff my armpits all the time... especially the one who was an abandoned kitten. They are somehow even more enthusiastic if I don't shower for a day or two (I work at home). Maybe it relaxes the cats to sniff my armpits... who knows?

"Yup. Nothing beats stress like lying unconscious, bleeding, and broken after having sniffed your co-workers armpits."
Ok, I can breath again...good thing I wasn't trying to drink milk...

LOL. My cats prefer me unshowered and in three day old
PJ type sweats. They do-the wife doesn't. Ooh! How do
you strike a happy balance....JJ61
P.S. The wife is usually happy to see me.
The Kitties...ALWAYS.
P.P.S. My wife is super.

If my cat is stressed, should I have him sniff my armpit?
These are questions we must have answers to!
Maybe our politicians can set up a panel to investigate, subpoena some veterinarians, get some hollywood actors to testify, yea that's it;)
What we really need is congressional hearings and a new law making it:
..illegal to place any felis domesticus (cat), having not reached the age of consent, under any human armpit unless said cat has expressed this as being part of his/her sexual orientation; proving stiff penalties for using an assault weapon in the commission of forcing any cat to stiff your armpit against his/her will; it shall also be unlawful to spank your cat for not wanting to sniff your armpit in the State of California, excepting within the legal boundaries of the City of San Francisco or unless under the exemption that said cat and human are domestic partners or married and residing in the State of Massachusetts; providing that when both parties, cat and human, engage in mutually consensual armpit sniffing not otherwise prohibited, it shall be unlawful to subject any cat to second hand smoke or for any restaurant to feed any cat or human a food product containing trans fats within the City of New York.
Furthermore, Congress shall hold special hearings to investigate the use of steroids in Major League Cat Armpit Sniffing

I think running around and asking to sniff co-workers armpits would induce more stress!
To: Slings and Arrows
If the armpit relaxes you, does that mean a moist SBD is like a day at teh spa?

LOL! But the cats usually enthusiasically head for and burrow into one's armpits, so I would imagine that that constitutes "giving consent"?

My significant other sometimes doesn't shower for a couple of days. But he sweats less than I do.

Well, you know, we women are reputed to be temperamental just like some cats are. [ducking and running] P.P.S. My wife is super.
Cool! She's a keeper!

I have no idea what an SBD is, and I am profoundly grateful for my ignorance.

The annual six-day carnival, which peaks on Rose Monday when millions of people watch processions in major cities, is famous for its tradition of crude political satire and beer-guzzling crowds.
