Does anyone else have a cat that smells really nice?

[EleanorAbernathy]

I was just thinking about my old girl (R.I.P.) - and she always smelled GREAT - so good that other people who got up close to her also commented on occasion! I loved nothing more than to bury my nose in her fur and have a good sniff.

We've not had this with the other cats - a couple of them are a bit whiffy and fishy smelling, and the others just don't really smell of anything at all.

I was just wondering if anyone else has a pleasantly fragrant cat!

Yes, my old cat smelt of outdoors - like fresh air and grass. His paws were like digestive biscuits. Current cats smell nice too, but not quite as lovely. Another old one had fishy breath and never learned how to clean her bum properly, nobody liked smelling her.

H does - until he opens his mouth! His fur has a lovely peppery smell and his feet smell of popcorn. As you can tell I loves him very much!

[creamhearts]

My cat smells quite nice really, she does have fishy breath though.

I can't say I've noticed the smell of our two cats, but I do like to bury my face in their fur, so they can't smell bad.

[WestEast]

I regularly enjoy a cat belly face smushing session and haven't noticed a particular smell. I want a peppery popcorn cat!

[MrsBertMacklin]

My cat smells of fabric conditioner on laundry days, on account of sitting under the clothes horse.

I do think that sun-warmed cat fur is one of the nicest things to sniff! Rolo came in the other night smelling of lapsang souchong tea, don't know if he'd been out near someone's wood burner or a bonfire or something.

My cat smells like sunshine, his breath stinks though

[chockbic]

He does generally, except for when he lets one rip.

Smells of cabbage

MKitten's feet smell like cheese. I like cheese.

Interesting/gross fact for when we next sniff our cats. They start washing at the anal glands and work outwards to ensure they smell of, well, themselves.

[chockbic]

Sounds like DH

[CMOTDibbler]

Evilgingercat smells nice. I always reckon dirt is scared to stick to him as his tummy is always pure white even though hes so fluffy.

I don't put my face near enough to damagedgirl or psycopathictabby to smell them. I don't want it rearranged.

[ShatnersBassoon]

Mine smells of biscuits that have been cooled outside.

[minmooch]

Ooh my boy cat often smells of either bonfires or rosemary. Have an allotment the other side of fence and he often smells of whichever fruit and veg that's in season. Both my cats smell delicious but boy cat lets me rub my nose in his belly. Mmmmmmmmmm

[chockbic]

Their fur really seems to capture smoke. I've noticed that before.

[RubbishMantra]

I now have a disturbing image in my head of a man washing himself like a cat. You know when they stretch their back legs in the air.

Cheers Chock.

[nipersvest]

our kitten smells lovely but he's not really been outside much yet so he's all clean.

[nowitsenough]

My Siamese smells lovely, sort of sweet and comforting. My black cat smells a bit sour, not so great. Both eat the same food Both have smelly cat breath, but I don't mind

[chockbic]

That's about right, Rubbish.

You should hear the noises. Oof.

[chillybits]

Sadly, no, our cat is very old and not fragrant at all. I find myself apologising for her as soon as anyone comes in the house. Better than our old dog at the same though!

[Zinxie]

My cat smells fragrant! Very sweetly fresh and perfumed. He goes outdoors, catches mice etc, and eats yucky smelling cat food, so I don't know his he manages it.

He smells as if he's just emerged from a lovely spa day.

[RubbishMantra]

Now I've got sound to go with the visuals.

Nice one.

[wigglybeezer]

I have one that smells mildly woodsmokey and another that smells like line dried laundry.

That's mad Pinksparkly - our kids swear blind our ginger ninja's paws smell of fresh popcorn. They are often to be found sniffing and cuddling the clawed monster....
