So, you are all curled up with your feline friend after a long day. 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.
There are many reasons why your cat smells good. Here are six things you should know about your cat’s scent.
As a cat’s tongue moves through its fur, the tongue’s texture acts as a fine comb, separating and organizing each strand. At the same time, the cat’s body oils are distributed through the fur.
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.
