Cat Q: why does he smell so good?

That's a very, very cute avatar you have there, too.

And yes, she's quite a talent! Of course, you have to start with excellent source material, too -- doesn't hurt, does it?

Hello and welcome to TCS!

Whenever I take Polly to the vet, the tech always says she smells really good. I assume she just picks it up from the house.

Dear PurrPaws, Polly, and Prego:


It's true -- they DO smell great! And may I compliment you on your gorgeous cats and lovely siggy. What a couple of cuties!

Thank you, that is very sweet. The current siggy was made by jcat, although I rotate them around every so often, as I have been blessed with many wonderful siggys.

Prego and Polly send purrs and headbutts to you and your gang.

Dear Polly, Prego, and PurrPaws:

Sure thing! Only giving praise where it's due...and admiring beauty where it's obvious! Wow, the black longhairs are SO magnificent! (As are ALL cats -- don't get me wrong! EVERY cat is a masterpiece!)

And yes, jcat is pretty amazing with the siggies! I really like the graduation of shades of blue -- it really sets Polly and Prego off to purr-fection, doesn't it?

I smelled one of my girls the other day and she smelled just like cookies and when they both lick me, it's not the gross human saliva odor, but a simple 'baby's breath'

Welcome Pearce1974 and sweet girls:

to TheCatSite and THANKS for sharing your wonderful photo albums with us, and diaries too! You're a star in my book for loving, adopting, and rescuing 'em. All 9 here are indoor-only, spayed/neutered, and rescued, 7 from "the streets" and 2 from "the dez". Sure hope your babes are feeling stronger now! We feed the brands your babes rejected, including Nutro (our favorite), Natural Balance, and also Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken, Triumph, Purina Pro Plan, and Trader Joe's, among others, because the really good food is really the best to grow a good cat and keep him or her healthy. I know, they love the other kinds, but the results just aren't the same....

And on that OT, what do you think of coconut oil? Olive oil? There was one really, really good deep conditioner I used to use, but they musta discontinued it or something, because I could never find it again. Sounds like you have a good thing going with your own home brew, though, too!

Prego thinks he's quite magnificent He walks around with his tail straight up in the air. It's funny because he's a bit clumsy. But I just love him all the more for it.

WELL,

...is it any wonder? Wouldn't YOU if you were that magnificent of a cat? lol

And yes, somehow being a bit klutzy can just add to the charm factor. It sure does around here.

Not to leave out pretty Ms. Polly! She is quite a beauty in her own right, I can tell! Kisses, rubs, and purrs to both from all of us!

I too am addicted to my cat's scent! [emoji]10084[/emoji][emoji]128571[/emoji][emoji]128568[/emoji]

 My Cat MJ is pretty much odorless to me and my Cat Clyde nearly always smells like feces. He is only 2 months old but he is very well litter box trained. He was semi-trained by MJ, who would always go into Clyd's litter box and bury Clyde's feces with litter to mask the smell. Clyde sooner than later began doing it himself. The smell of his anus is so strong that even after I give him a nice clean (he hates baths with a passion too) his anus will still stink to the high heavens. I wonder if when I'm not around he just lays in his litter box sometimes. I doubt it, but it has me thinking.

I love the smell of my cats. I cant describe how they smell, but they smell really nice, especially on their paws.

is kitty inside or outside? poop smelling odors can be worms or just the smell stuck to the fur at the back of the butt and tail. you can try finding a groomer to give him a bath. if you choose to trim the hair in the back=becareful with the sissors that you don't puncture the skin-they move when we don't want them to move. I make mine lay on the toilet seat and hang their tail/bum over the edge and carefully trim. I use short sissors made for haircutting. I wonder if its just the poop still stuck to the fur even if you don't see it.

you can try a warm wet clothe and run it over the tail/legs but they get bratty with this. you may be better to have someone restrain them to clean him up.
