Confessions of an American Cat Huffer

Hysterical description! Accurate, too.
Try Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract. Dust-free and no odor, but it keeps the smell down great. The cats love it, too. We also keep an odor-absorbing sort of gel in a jar that we got from Bed Bath & Beyond sitting near the box. It's called Smells BeGone. The scent is extremely subtle. We don't even smell it. They have other scents, but this is the mildest and is minimal. Here's what it is:

Saipha has the most intoxicating scent. Like fresh cut grass and baby powder mixed together. And she loves sleeping on my pillow, curled around my head, so I get to wake up to that lovely scent each morning.
Mishka, on the other hand, smells like a kitten who got distracted by a toy halfway through grooming and never quite got around to finishing...

Great thread! Thanks for reviving it,

Diamond has a nice fresh odor, but he doesn't really smell like anything. But pleasant enough.
When I first got Seal the feral, his fur had a crappy odor and I mean he smelled like #2. It was not a hygiene problem. I'm not sure why he had that odor. As time went by, it changed and now he has a rich spicy odor. A first rate huffing cat!
For the first 10 months I had Leonid, his fur smelled a little musty. Bathing did not help. A few months ago his odor changed and now his fur smells like cotton candy. I have to be careful not to drool!
My new kitty, Lilah, I have not had the privilege of huffing yet. Just lately I have been able to hold her without her struggling to get down. I have to go slow with her, but I hope to get a huff soon. An experience to I look forward to with great anticipation!

Glad you revived this thread. I think of it from time to time and get yet another laugh. The original post is very funny.
My cats don't smell like anything in particular, just clean, maybe musky. I love to huff them, though.

Yes, very amusing.
lavishsqualor
has a great sense of humor and descriptive writing style to accompany it. Carleton has a sweet scent to go with his extra sweet personality.
I just found this thread, & you guys have me laughing! I love it. I admit, since I just found it, I only read the first page..then saw it was 5 already! LOL!
I used to do this with Angel. I swear his neck smelled like cotton candy! I used to tell him that he was SO sweet & that's why he smelled like that.
Sammie seems to be different at times, since she does go outside too. (only during the day).
Her "Purrrrfume" would be called "Sassy!"
(Well, she just came in , so her tummy smells like dirt!)

After reading this thread I tried to sniff my kitty, Chicquitita, when I saw her lying on the bed. She immediately got up and jumped off the bed. Then I got an aha moment. She loves to drink from the faucet so I went into the bathroom.... she followed me as always.... I turned on the water at the sink... and Boom! She couldn't resist getting a drink at her favorite place. So I got a good whiff of her back and the top of her head. She doesn't have a sweet smell but kind of earthy.
The next time she wakes me up too early or during the night, I'm going to nudge her to lie down and start huffing. Maybe that will break her of the habit!

You may have a novel idea here.
Do you mean the ' catch them while drinking from the faucet ' idea, or huffing in bed to break their habit of waking us up?You may have a novel idea here.

Every now and then Honeybee smells like dead animal-I don't know if she rolled on a dead animal or what-but that's when the wet wash clothe comes out and she fights me.
Most other times she smells like Honeybee...grass..dirt..leaves...
If I could bottle the smell of Hekitty's fur, just behind her left ear, I could make a fortune. I could die happy with my nose in that fur.
The huff training method.

Charlie doesn't smell like anything in particular, but I've noticed he has one thing in common with my other cats and dogs-his feet smell like Fritos
