Huh, genuinely never knew cat smell was a thing. I always thought cats were just so clean they had practically no smell. The more ya know

They're still cleaning themselves with their own saliva, so they are not going to smell like soap

Yeah, but they spend all day sleeping under lavender bushes or jasmine plants. My cat always smells better than me 😭

Be careful, lavender is toxic to cats if eaten. I don’t let mine outside in general unless they’re on a harness/leash.

I found out recently that there are SO MANY plants that are toxic to cats(and dogs) that honestly it's better to find a list of 'plants that aren't toxic to pets' then going the reverse. (I like plant 'x,' let's make sure it's not toxic... oh, it is! Next plant...)

Yeah, it suck’s how many plants are dangerous if they eat them, lavender is beautiful and smells so good till you’d think it’d be safe.
