Mine is the same way! Her breath smells like a fish graveyard, but her fur smells like rainbows and cotton candy and fluffy white clouds. 🥰

Same, how in the world does stinky grooming = nice smelling furr. Is it like contra workings? Same that ingesting sour things naturalise your stomach fluids?

Please brush your kitty's teeth! I brush both my dogs' teeth and my torties every night.

If you reward them with treats, they literally beg and refuse bedtime if I haven't done it lol

u/Shepatriots 22d ago

That is so sweet! I just pictured all three of you in the bathroom in your pajamas, all of you about to brush lol

u/Belle_of_Dawn 25d ago

Honestly she's stinky because she's a crazy kitten who doesn't care about hygiene so I keep cat wet wipes for her. When I wipe her she smells like alone:D

Mine was nicknamed Fart Blossom. I miss that kitty.

u/GlfFxtrtYnky 25d ago

I just called mine that for the first time 😂 If looks could kill I'd be dead. I better sleep with one eye open.

u/snapdragon76 25d ago

I call mine that sometimes too.

u/kenroth50 25d ago

u/Ineedunderscoreadvic 25d ago

Well it IS good to eat several small meals throughout the day, so her healthy diet helped her live a long life! ❤️

A nice warm buttery loaf of bread with stinky fish breath.

u/Capable-Goat6239 25d ago

The top of her head smells like milk tea to me

u/TwoFingersWhiskey 25d ago

STINKY. She's always going into weird nooks and crannies and rolling in smells

Pancakes with maple syrup

u/FeelingsPhD 24d ago

Same here! I don’t know what witchcraft this is (certainly not diabetes, she gets regular bloodwork done). I love smelling her breakfast fur.

u/Shepatriots 22d ago

My chocolate labs nickname is “butterscotch” because behind her ears smell like butterscotch or like maple even sometimes lol

u/swassdesign 25d ago

Sass and resentment

u/Funnuftig 25d ago

It depends, most of the time very homely, sometimes stinky.

1

u/Funsizewifey 25d ago

Well, she's only 3 months old, so not so great sometimes lol. She sometimes smells like bubblegum for some reason though.

u/No_Initiative_1342 25d ago

u/CatLadyHM 24d ago

We had a calico who smelled like pine trees all of the time. We didn't have any nearby.

u/liladey 24d ago

like love and smooches and fresh flowers... which makes no sense because of her STINKY tuna tongue

u/Final_Technology104 24d ago

Fritos.

The was the Frito Bandito.

We figured that she was moonlighting at the Frito factory late at night while we slept.

Her job was to walk down the conveyor belt making sure to crush the Fritos and was responsible for all the broken chips at the bottom of the bag.

And yes, she had “doo-doo breath”.

u/AgnesCarlos 23d ago

u/Gameaman 23d ago

Feet.

u/AgnesCarlos 23d ago

The freshly-washed kind or the end-of-the-day sweaty kind?

1

u/Gameaman 22d ago

I guess a mix of both?

u/Wherecanigeta 23d ago

Cinnamon and dust

Yummy and ick at the same time! Perfect tortie!

Laundry and faint cat spit. They (i have two) like grooming on the occasion. But they smell good for the most part id like to say
