I can always tell if someone has a dog when I walk into their house, that kinda warm musty sour smell. I love cats, but you can tell when you walk into a cat owner's house, too. Especially if there is a litter box nearby. Disagree, the house will only smell if they've just filled the litter tray or are spraying their territory. Guess I'm fortunate that I've never had a cat pee or poop anywhere but in the tray and I use low-odour pine litter that is removed as soon as something's done on it - in part because they're here in the office and I couldn't sit here very long when one of them has just done its business! The only true test is invite people over that don't live with you and see they notice an odor. My cat has never missed the litter box, either, and to me, there is no smell, even though I live in a small apartment and the litter box is behind the front door. I keep the litter box clean and use a spray freshener when needed. When I go to other people's houses, they all have odors, whether it be from pets, cooking, etc. What you don't smell, someone else may. I can name a few dog owners that don't think their houses smell, either. I'm not in any way saying your house probably does smell, I'm just saying that a homeowner doesn't notice smells that visiters might. pepsi |

But I have to confess that this is the highlight of me getting up in the morning: cat #1 on top of my knees at six in the morning, cat # 2 on top of my chest, purring, dog: warming my feet. And after the six o'clock news I go into the kitchen, and they all race there too in order to get their breakfast :-D :-D Well, "no-pet-people" just haven't a clue what they miss out on. My vote: dogs AND cats!! (AND ponies AND rabbits AND hamsters AND guinea pigs AND parrots ...) lol! Yes. I'd like some goats. One day I will have goats! |

I've had people in who've been surprised when they learn I have 3 cats because they can't smell 'em. Thank goodness. Not to say my house doesn't smell of other things, but it doesn't smell of that pungent cat **** smell. Anyway, I just meant in general. You can't smell cats in people's houses unless there's manky litter trays lying around. And the cats themselves don't smell when you sniff em. Well, one of mine does because she goes sometimes out to the garden to poo and then rolls in it. But that's a different story... I once had a friend that had no sense of smell. She had three 100 gallon fish tanks, a dog and a cat. All things considering, her house didn't smell too bad, but it did have a cat smell. However, when she got new carpets, the guy that came to install them almost passed out when he lifted the old carpet. I guess her cat had been urinating there for years and no one knew. pepsi |
