As you nuzzle into their fur, you might ask, “why do cats smell good?” For animals that don’t often require baths, they sure do an excellent job of staying clean and smelling good.
In fact, you might even find that cats of friends or family don’t have the same pleasant smell as your feline.
That brings the question, “is it just me?” The short answer is no. You’re not going crazy. Cats do smell good.
Whether they’ve rolled around in your lemon grass or pounced on your petunias, cats often carry the scents of their environment. Since it’s your environment, it also adds to how you perceive your cat’s scent.
