I have a 9 month old male cat. Had him "fixed" at 6 months. He is an indoor cat although he will lie on the deck outside sometimes, but he doesn't seem to want to go any further than that. He has a natural sweet woodsy scent. He smells so good I love to cuddle close to him just to smell him. It almost smells like he has on perfume which he doesn't. Why does he smell so good? Is it common for cats to smell good? I've had a couple other cats when I was younger but they were female...and I don't remember them smelling so good. Is it because he's male? Is it the breed he is? He's just a solid gray cat, no markings, regular short hair, American I think, affectionate and good natured. But why does he smell so good?

Cat Q: why does he smell so good?

Welcome to the both of you. Cats do have their own sweet smell and I too like to cuddle and sniff their fur. I have also found that they pick up smells from fresh laundry and other places where they like to nap.
I had a cat who smelled WONDERFUL! She was a LH calico, and I still have her mother. Her mother smells the same, but not as strong. Baby Bit would sleep in the dirty clothes hamper, and the dirty clothes hamper would smell WONDERFUL!
. I still miss that lovely scent, almost as much as I miss her...
Well nice to have you here - enjoy the forums !!
Radar smells lovely, finally worked out that he was picking up the fragrance of Nate's deodorant - when Nate switched fragrances so did Radar

Welcome Julia and sweetsmelling boycat
to TheCatSite! What's his name? We'd love to see a photo of him...thanks for getting him neutered -- we love people like you who do the RIGHT thing!
Well, our human has lived with, loved, rescued, and advoCATed for cats all her life, and she thinks all cats smell fantastic, especially right behind the ears. It's pheromones, we guess -- that, plus the fact that we are so naturally clean, and are always bathing ourselves!

It could be that your kitty is picking up the scent from the wooden deck that he likes to lie on. Lily and Tolly pick up lovely scents from different things they lie on. Still.....no matter where his scent comes from, it's a great excuse to pick him up and bury your nose in his fur

Dear Cocoalily:
Omigosh! Twix is one sweet-smelling feline! We have some very perfumey girls here, too -- and the guys are no slouches, either. Let's face it -- cats smell good on the outside 'cause they're so sweet inside. Don'cha think that's it?
