Poop?

Erm, that's bacteria you can smell!

My cat currently smells of Phlur Not Your Baby - he likes to tuck his head into my neck.

Our previous cat always smelled of Chanel 19, no other perfume used to "stick" to her fur regardless of what I was wearing. It was like the Chanel was embedded in her. My MIL would say oh, you are wearing cat's perfume today, when I had the Chanel on.

That fresh earthy green smell that they get after being outside on a damp day. Love the smell of my cats.

His paws definitely used to smell of digestive biscuits

Freshly disembowelled mouse.

My cat smells of pasta sauce, I assume she’s had her head in the pan whilst we were eating!

TabbyBeast · 09/01/2026 20:44

Bacon! I think they've been going into a neighbour's house

Not a cat, but my puppy thought it was a good plan to taste-test the rosemary I was stripping for soup yesterday; She made some dreadful faces and spat it out, but her breath was lovely afterwards! 😄

Tuna loin

Incense! One paid a visit to a neighbour’s barbecue and came home incense flavoured.
Another liked to sleep in a curry plant that used to be in my garden.
RIP Korma cat.

The top of my cat's head always smells like sugar and caramel. No idea why!

LostCats2 · 16/04/2026 17:31

Ah my precious boy smells of dust and his own special smell of love and happiness (it smells like that to me)

Whosthetabbynow · 16/04/2026 17:33

Digestive biscuits! Why??

Puppylucky · 16/04/2026 18:02

I feel cheated ! Marvin just smells like a hamster

wizzbitt · 16/04/2026 18:08

I’m really disappointed that all you posters haven’t put a picture up of your cat! I thought that was the rule?!

We get digestive biscuits too.

Truck!

Girl cat:

Fairy non bio liquid, because I hang the non-tumble dryable laundry on a heated airer and she likes to sleep on top of the cover as it's toasty.

The food waste bin - because she's an opportunistic thief and can sniff out the things she likes, including leftover pizza and sausages.

Boy cat:

Grass
Soil
General outdoor smells

Girl cat has a gorgeous natural smell, not like anything in particular but just her own lovely smell. Boy cat doesn't smell like much at all when he hasn't been out.

My friend used to have a cat whose natural smell was like a faint very nice aftershave. It was amazing.

Digestive biscuits here too , leading to biscuit as a nickname.

Squirrelsnut · 16/04/2026 18:29

Sweet dusty biscuits. I love it.

RandomUsernameHere · 16/04/2026 18:32

His head smells of fresh air when he’s come in from outside. Toe beans, no idea, not sure I’d be brave enough to find out!

Twoshoesnewshoes · 16/04/2026 19:12

Hay for toe beans, engine oil for head f she’s been snoozing under the camper van
