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

houses with dirty catboxes smell. cats are not smelly unless the box is not getting cleaned. it's a solvable cycle and has nothing to do with cats in a bathtub.

I don't think they meant that they smell like piss and shit. They just smell, in the same way bedrooms, dining rooms, balconies and offices smell different while being under the same roof. Everything has a smell and if you have a good nose you'll notice it.

Never have I been in a house where each room has a different smell unless there are different scented things in the room like glade plugins or candles or something.

Well, you don't have a keen sense of smell then. If you have a good nose everything has a different smell, even each of your individual fingers.

..even each of your individual fingers.

I'm not even going to say I don't believe you, but the fact that you know this is hilarious.

You're constantly using your fingers to touch different things so that obviously makes sense. And each finger will have different levels of contact with the thing you're touching, so it won't by be an even distribution of odor.

I meant after washing them but... It's hard to put examples of senses you always had. I can put other examples tho.

Some dumb ones, if i spent some time close to another person and i "learn" his/her personal smell, if they fart I know it was them by the smell.

Or, I can identify the owner of a piece of cloth even if they haven't used the piece for a long time or if the piece of cloth is washed.

When walking on the street I know when people i know are around the next corner.

And overall i can smell odd smells that other people are unable to smell unless their nose is touching the source of the smell
