To think that cat owners that smoke don't realise how bad they smell?

[MrsderPunkt]

I bought some cake decorating stuff (second hand) at the weekend and it stinks. I put it through the dishwasher and now that stinks too. Why don't people realise that having cats shitting in the kitchen is vile - and why are cat litter trays often in the kitchen? Would the bathroom not be more appropriate? Why mix cooking with the toxic stink of cat shit?

And in answer to all of the cat owners that will tell me that their cat/house doesn't smell, you're wrong, it does, and there's cat hair all over you. Smokers have no defence other that you probably can't smell how bad you are because you've knackered your tastebuds.

I am never going to buy another second hand thing unless it's from a 'smoke & pet free house'. Stinky fuckers.

Not just snakes though. Cats have a vomeronasal organ (ok so mouth and not on their tougue, but close enough to make the op being a cat joke)

Cat photos, jokes, and now education too! This is the thread that just keeps on giving

MargaretCavendish - this.

Houses with dogs sometimes smell a bit. But dogs are nice, and make people happy, and it's nice to pat them when you visit.

Houses with children of a certain age smell (sicky baby to hungover sweaty teenager as they age)

Houses where they insist on burning yankee candles smell

Etc, etc, etc

If you're going to buy stuff second hand, check this stuff and/or accept it.

On a side note- yes, I am often covered in cat fur. But hey, someone has to keep the makers of those roller wotsits in business.

"I have no idea how baking equipment could smell of cat"

exactly this?!

What does mean?

foxy it means biscuit. Unprintable.

My cat shits where my husband smokes - in the neighbour's garden.

My house smells lovely.

Cats don't smell with their tongues but with something called a Jacobson's organ,which is located in the roof of their mouth. This is why when they smell things,they sometimes open their mouth,in order to draw the air up into the Jacobson's organ. This action is called the Flehmen reaction. And it means their sense of smell is 14 times better than humans!
