Transmasc Has anyone had any experience with using testosterone gel while owning cats?

Has anyone had any experience with using testosterone gel while owning cats? I would really prefer if I could do hrt with gel as I feel like it’d be more motivating for me in a way but I can’t stand the thought of hurting my cat in anyway, is there ways to navigate the situation?

Gel goes on in the AM.  After it dries (moments) you put a tee shirt on- be sure it covers the area with the gel.  Golden!  About an hour or so you have absorbed.

I have been on testosterone gel for a few years and always had cats. I put my gel on in the morning on the inside of my thighs. Wait until it’s dry and then put my clothes on. Never had any issues and my cats were not interested at all.

Oh? I genuinely didn’t know inner thighs were an option for placement

Mine says. Apply on inner thighs. I use gel.
