I just love the smell of cat BREATH.

Am I the only one?

Can't say I've ever smelled anything on Persia's breath.  But it's not quite
the same as dog breath, or puppy breath, is it?

I love to bury my nose in Persia's side and sniff... she smells sort of
sweet :)

Mutt's breath isn't bad. It's fresh.

Umm.. except when she's been raiding the trash bag for one of Eve's
diaper deposits.. *grrrr*

Dog breath is awful. Nauseating, actually. Cat breath is rotten in its own
way but it's a very different smell. You hafta get right up close and sniff
while they're yawning, or else pry their little teefies apart and stick your
nose right in there.

Try it and let me know....  :D

I just got a mental image of the circus lion tamer sticking his head in the
lion's mouth.  I never really thought about that as a big whiff of lion
breath.

Cats seem to have pretty subtle scents.  I guess they're constantly
deodorizing themselves by licking.  Speaking of which, I sometimes
wonder why they're not thirsty all the time, with all the licking that
they do.

Cats are a feast for the senses though.  When I hold Betty, I like to
drape her over my shoulder and hold her against my ear, so that I can
hear her purr.  She doesn't seem to mind me treating her like a
seashell. :)

Awwww, I do that with Persia too!  She gently digs her front paws into my
back and "hugs" me and I sort of dance around with her on my shoulder and
listen to her purrrrrrrrrrrr.

Jill, Frank smells like that too. Almost very vauguely perfumey. Maybe it's
from being loved on by us, and it's a mix of the cologne and stuff we wear.

Maybe, Sherry, but I'd swear she smells faintly of Bay Rum or something
spicy-sweet...!  Nothing to account for this scent.  I do love it, though :)

Also, maybe you're using scented cat litter? :)

Don't like it when she has been eating fish!

Love the smell of Evil 3's furry little bodies....but cat breath...not
appealing, though not Godawful. Think it's their diet, different from
hoomins.

You just haven't smelled my cat's breath. :) When Licorice licks the tip
of my nose, I get a strong whiff, and whew!! Glad that doesn't happen all
the time.

When my Siamese (RB) developed horrible breath, the Vet discovered two
teeth decayed at the gumline.  She was her sweet old self again when
they were removed.

Frank has trouble with his teeth, and I know when to take him for a
teeth-cleaning when his breath starts to smell really bad. I don't know what
to do to help him, since his tummy gets upset from all brands of supposedly
tooth-cleaning kibble I've tried, and he retches at the kitty toothpaste. I
give him fresh meat about every second day, hoping that that will help keep
his teeth clean. It's a bit of a worry each time he has to have his teeth
cleaned, because the older he gets, the harder the anaesthesia seems to be
on him.

My vet recommended raw chicken necks for dental health.

Shmogg didn't like them, of course, but Frank might.

I was wondering about that, but Licorice is only 7 or 8 months old, so
it's hard to believe he'd be suffering tooth decay already!

Hmmmm, maybe ;-)
The only time I ever sniff Vino's breath is when he comes up to tell me that
he's starving and it's time for his canned food dinner.  I can tell he's
lying most of the time because I can smell dry food on his breath!

Kenzie's breath is rather pleasant to smell; not at all foul of 'off'.
It just sort of smells like ...Kenzie!

And I love to smell her fur. It smells fresh and clean. Sometimes I pick
her up and tickle her tummy with my nose. But only for a little while,
as once she's had enough, she has a good bunny kick!

Life without cats would be only marginally worth living.
TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Cats seem to like human breath, so we're probably expected to
reciprocate. :)

You haven't smelt "old-dead-mouse-breath" himself - a.k.a. Marble... I do
believe that there could be some UN convention relating to his breath...

On the other hand, Waffles and Francis are fine.

My cats' breath smells like cat food.

Well after reading all these replies, I guess I must be insane after all.
The cat-breath odor I'm referring to apparently is not what most people
would consider pleasant. But the truth is that one big reason for having
cats around me is addiction to the unique smell of their breath. If I was
able to do it, I would also have sheep, simply so I could listen to their
voices. I love the sound of sheep, just like I love the smell of cats'
breath.

Wouldn't worry about being insane in this group. I think we all are, in one
way or another.

Insane about our kitties that is.
