No idea why, but it sure is true. Cats smell great.



Cats that spray though..... :zombiefuck:

I'm thinking it's because cats are overall cleaner than dogs. They spend so much time grooming themselves (I guess if you're a cat, covering yourself with your own spit makes the rest of us think you smell good :P ) whereas dogs depend on humans to bathe them regularly. Plus, some dogs have a stronger smell to them than others. Mochi (my friend's dog that I was taking care of) he didn't smell at all. But I can't be around hound dogs for long. Their scent makes me sneeze.

I understand that dachshunds do not have an odor.  I don't ever recall our doxies smelling. 

The Corgis in the Palace, now that's another story.

I have noticed that cats will have fish breath after eating sometimes.

My dog only smells like dog right after running around outside, even when recently bathed.

I think cats smell nice. I am allergic to them though.

Cats smell good because they're superior beings. No really. Dogs are great, but I think cats are just one of those perfect accidents.

Years ago my then-landlady brought home an orange tabby kitten who turned out to be the warmest and friendliest cat ever!
Anyway, when he was little, the top of his head smelled spicy, kind of a hint of cinnamon or cloves, a dessert-like smell.  :heart:
