Who here sniffs their cats fur?

I sniff my cats, I can't help it. Trouble usually smells a bit like litter because she digs her way to China in the box kicking up all kinds of dust, and Marbles smells like food more often than not. My favorite smell is the sleepy kitty smell when I can't help myself and pick them up as they are napping. And I smell their paws too. Ok, yup, I am weird .

Jamie,

Your post made me laugh. I always tell my sister that Max digs so much in his litter box that I wouldn't be suprised if an Asian man's head poked through the litter box opening.

That is too funny Nora .

Oh no! I LOVE the smell of clean outside kitty fur--you know, when they're not dusty and they've just come inside. Totally inside kitty fur does not smell the same. There's something so rich about that smell. I just don't know how to describe it.

Inside kitties usually smell like their owners or the houses to me.

Smelling cats. We're guilty!
In winter Molly often smells of dryer sheets (likes to sit under the vent to stay warm) and woodstove smoke (it wafts through the neighborhood). In summer she smells of "swamp". There's wetlands behind our house. Sometimes my children say she smells of various things. . . . . I can't put my finger on an example, but it's always something unusual.

Last Christmas she was giving off a very bad odor. I took her to the vets. . . .she had an ear infection (from a polyp in her ear that had to be removed). So it's good to smell your cat!

George (bless his soul) had this unique smell. I loved to kiss the top of his big gray head. It was the last thing I did when he was put down

I haven't really gotten close enough to Morrell (my newest addition) to get a good whiff. He's very shy.

I like to stick my face in my cat's fur and smell them too. At least when they'll let me!

I admit -- I sniff them too! Heck, they always sniff at me, so I sniff back!

Love the comment about the "new cat smell." Giggle ....

"Uh, hi. My name is Sue, and I sniff my cats' fur."

Welcome Sue! You've taken the first step!

Now all you have to do is admit you're mom of more then 10 cats. Denile is nasty, you know?

Umm...Let's see, I have 15 right now. That number can increase at any given moment, though....

Ok that's better! Now we're getting somewhere!

Thanks!

To the next STEP in our 12 step program. She has not owned up to the REAL cat-count in her house. LOL i'M WAITING SUE! I am still pickng myself up off the floor after hearing Tybalt tell about his butt-sniffing trick and the resulting stupor and slack-jawed dazed reaction! My GAWD, I really didn't let him sniff cat butts when he was little!!! Sue, can't you stop him?? I have always inhaled deep into my kitties fur. For years they all smelled like English Leather which my husband wore. Now, they just smell like themselves. Always comforting and warm.

The three I have now do not smell like anything, but my Leo always had a spicy scent that remeinded me of Autumn.
