If you’re lucky enough to have both cats and dogs, you’ve probably noted that the first ones have mu-u-uch more pleasant body aroma. And talking about nice scents, we don’t mean your purr friend uses Chanel No 5 or Victoria’s Secret Fragrance Mist. We’re trying to say that your cat just smells surprisingly charming, and here are some WHYs for such an amusing phenomenon.
Hence, whether you enjoy smelling your cat, like garden daisies, or didn’t even think about this subject before, the article will clarify some things for you. Cookies and hot chocolate are already on the table, aren’t they? Great, then our little WHYs are waiting for you.
WHY #1. Self-Grooming is Feline’s Passion
Just like you can’t live without your 15-step morning & evening beauty routine, your lovely cat feels naked without daily grooming. Consequently, if you check the feline’s schedule, there are only three significant tasks this little boy does diligently and permanently. Of course, here we mean sleeping, eating, and self-grooming.
However, not merely duration but also specific features of your cat’s tongue helps him to smell good. Simply put, it combines sharp mini spines reminding of ones on a toothbrush. Due to this, your cat has no problem looking after himself properly, even better than any bath washcloth.
WHY #2. Everything Depends on a Healthy Diet
As you might have noticed, our articles contain many parallels between our lifestyle features and those of our beloved pets. So, this point isn’t an exception – on the contrary, it proves that we have much in common with the cats we own.
Both people and pets should eat healthy food full of nutrition, especially proteins, to keep their shapes sturdy, grow muscles, and smell as fresh as menthol chewing gum.
So, if sometimes you question yourself, could your meow friend be a prototype of a smelly cat from Phoebe’s song, then you’d better change his diet. Let’s leave the words “Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?” only for jokes in our fav “Friends” sitcom.
WHY #3. Maybe, It has Nothing to Do with Your Meow Dude?
Holding an indoor cat, you don’t need to wonder why your cat is such a good-smelling one. You see, cats can sleep up to 16 hours. So is it a miracle that your domestic lion absorbed the odor of Lavanda you presented to your wife yesterday or the french fries you just brought from McDonald’s?
In most cases, an indoor cat (if he’s healthy) will have a pleasant body aroma, which is not relatable for cute outdoor predators.
WHY #4. You’re Just Really Into This Funny Furr Ball
Besides the physiological-related things we mentioned above, we can explain that you find your cat smelling good, relying on a psychological aspect. Here is the thing. When you’re comfy and happy with a person or pet, you love everything about them.
Even if they have a bad temper or an unpleasing scent, these lovely guys are the most good-natured and well-aromatic ones for you. Simply because they are your true friends and you’re light-hearted with them.
