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

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.

Yep, agree with worra gf Confused
Before having cats i never knew who the hell had a cat.
My cats certainly don't smell either Hmm
I clean the litter trays everytime they go too.
If your dishwasher smells then there's somwthing wrong with it, nothing to do with buying something from a cat owner.
If you think they smell then why did you buy something from them in the first place?
Or did you just want to write a goady thread to piss of smokers and cat owners? (As we haven't had a thread about horrible cats are for about a month).

sparkling thanks for the link to the cat house! That's brilliant, I am going to order one for our cats.

Girl cat 3 managed to slip out the door when I was letting boy cat in the other night and I didn't notice. Dp noticed when he got up and heard her crying to come in. It was chucking it down but the daft creature hadn't bothered to take shelter and she was like a small drowned rat! and she didn't smell, she just looked adorable

Boy cat would love this in the summer, it would be his castle to survey his kingdom in the sunshine.

I'm sure my house smells of dog, though I'm "nose-blind" to it myself. She's allowed on the sofa and sometimes in our bed. I also smoke, outside but it almost certainly clings to my clothes and hair. My mate's house smells of cats and ferrets. Don't care, pets are worth it and it smells better than those horrendously strong fake smelling air-fresheners.

No-one wants a smelly pussy

Is that you, Mrs Slocum?

ImBreakingBad · 01/02/2017 14:44

I was just kidding about mine Grin. Ours get sprayed with pethead!

HookandSwan · 01/02/2017 14:52

I'm calling "Troll" your just trying to goad people into a fight!!

Badcat666 · 01/02/2017 15:02

I'm confused, but was everything covered in cat shit and fag ash when the OP opened the box??

I now have images of a huge tom cat sitting on a stool by a mixer with a fag in it's mouth saying "Margo?? MARGO?? where the fuck has my ice piping kit gone? I SWEAR if you've sold it for gin money I'm going to shit in your shoes again!"

There is no way something would make your dishwasher "smell". You need to do a proper clean of your dishwasher... frankly dishwashers make me heave more than cats.. all that rancid fats and grease and dirt if you don't clean it on a regular basis... boaks

NootNoot · 01/02/2017 15:05

We have a mahoosive cat & our house does not smell. In fact we are known in our social circle for having the "show room" house. Get over yourself.

Chickydoo · 01/02/2017 15:24

The CatNeuterer and all who have posted photos of their cats climbing on work surfaces.... I have found my people [SMILE]

wonderingsoul · 01/02/2017 15:52

My pussy is very offended.

CactusFred · 01/02/2017 16:01

My cats and my house does not smell. They wee outside. Unless the cats are pissing all over the house it won't smell!

Smoking is a different issue. Smoking all over your cats is bad!

caz323 · 01/02/2017 16:26

Ok, in response to what perfume does the OP wear - and you will have to be a certain age to get this suggestion - but I would guess it's maybe......

G'eau de Cologne!!

Mycatsapirate I hope they love it as much as my cat does. She loves to survey the garden from the verandah, she thinks she's invisible in it! She very often sits in it when it's raining even though she can come in if she wants.

iloveeverykindofcat · 01/02/2017 17:32

I am happy that this thread has now been turned into a cat appreciation thread. Grin.

MycatsaPirate · 01/02/2017 18:01

sparkling I am sure they will love it. And I notice the cat litter on there is very cheaply priced compared to where I normally get it. So a great recommendation of the website. Thanks!

MycatsaPirate · 01/02/2017 18:03

badcat I am howling at that! dp has told me to be quiet as he's watching the news :o

Notsoyummi · 01/02/2017 18:07

Yuck that and dogs I wouldn't be able to use decorating stuff as I would always think of smell I definitely wouldn't be able to eat anything I made with them.

HellonHeels · 01/02/2017 18:08

My cats smell absolutely gorgeous! I like to cuddle them and sniff the top of their head.

Your dishwasher must be minging, when was last time it was cleaned?

Janey50 · 01/02/2017 18:09

You sound like as right charmer. Here,have my first ever MNBiscuit.

mya83 · 01/02/2017 18:10

why mix cooking with the toxic stink of cat shit?

Erm I would empty the tray if the cat shit, why would my cooking be mixed with it?

You come across as ignorant,rude and miserable.

engineersthumb · 01/02/2017 18:50

I've got to be honest I hate cat owners who don't have litter trays. Cats do make houses smell but that's for the people living there to put up with, sending them out to crap in the garden my children play in is really obnoxious!

TheNiffler · 01/02/2017 19:16

Actually it is possible for people to smoke and not smell of it, I have a really ridiculously good sense of smell, yet I wouldn't have known 2 of the nurses on the respiratory ward smoked if they hadn't said so. They smoke outside, with a coat on, and cover their hair. Then they wash their hands and use mouthwash before coming back into the ward - I asked them, they said they're really particular because it sets a bad example.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 01/02/2017 19:40

Unless you've been in the house of every cat owner, or smoker, in the kingdom, then you can't really say, can you you goady article OP. On the other hand, as the gloves appear to be off, I would suggest that good dishwasher-maintenance would be to run a cleaner though it about once a month you slovenly house-keeper, the pot who called the kettle black, and probably suggested it smelt of cats to boot

imjessie · 01/02/2017 19:42

You sound a treat ConfusedConfusedbut I do agree with cat litter trays in kitchens is grim.. I've always put ours in the toilet / bathroom . I feed them In there too as it's a big room and they have there own space ..
