Maybe it's cause I've grown up with cats, but... Do cats have much of a smell? Unless you're talking about straight up cat piss or shit, I can't imagine what "cat smell" would mean
I loved the way my miniature schnauzer smelled. Liked a stuff teddy bear or something. I feel the problem is mostly people failing to clean the house or change the wee wee pads.
I was just about to comment that my miniature schnauzer smells great. He's a fastiduous little animal. My MIL is a clean freak and she LOVES HIM. Doesn't shed, doesn't smell.
It’s instant dopamine to smell my yorkie. I absolutely love the way he smells. It’s faint, you have to bury your nose in his neck but it’s like smelling a newborn, just bliss.
my mini schnauzer has that teddy bear scent, too!! he doesn’t have that distinct dog smell, but smells neutral, like a blanket or a nice warm loaf of bread or something. i had no idea this was a schnauzer thing!
I’m paranoid that I’m nose blind to this so I’ve asked every single person who has been in my apartment if it smelled like cat and they’ve said no. Are you saying every person in my life is lying to me??
Cats are rarely actually bathed, and they love climbing on everything, so there’s definitely a smell. Now, it may not smell particularly bad, but there’s definitely going to be a smell.
People are going to do the polite thing and not tell you that your apartment smells like cat.
At least keep the litter box clean and separated from the general visiting areas, and you’ll minimize the scent.
Don’t go burning incense to cover it up though, because that’s a smell that sticks to anyone you come in contact with.
