It is observed that cats have irresistible pull for mysterious woody incense, especially 'sandal' 'sumbul-atteeb'. Whenever any of the mentioned wood chips were being crushed in a 'mattib' (clinic where herb-based medicines are prepared and recommended by a hakeem (doctor), cats got ecstatic. Even they started wallowing and somersaulting on the remains, especially of sumbul-atteeb. Oud is rather overwhelmingly mysterious, so ecstasy would be rather intense. I wish to have captured the scene a cat rolling on semi mashed chips, mesmerized and lost. This is what I witnessed almost two decades before.
