I have a beautiful black female kitty, around three years old.
She appears to be healthy, and, is a very nice cat.
But, her breath smells like straight up a.s. It smells like a combination of
dead rotting animal carcasses and sh.t.
I can't figure it out, since we live in an apartment, with a clean litter box,
and, no dead mice or rats or anything like that.
I have another cat, an older male, and, he doesn't have sh.t breath like that.
Where does that breath come from, and, what can I do about it?

Might have her checked out by a Vet. Bad breath in
a house cat could indicate disease, notably kidney problems.

Vet schmet... Cats lick their a.s all the time. Maybe if it's a problem for
you, try feeding it a food that digests a little bit more friendlier!

Their own and others, but not all the time. : -)
People have been known to do the same although
they are more discreet and know better. Dogs
usually don't have the patience. One or two sniffs
and if there isn't something there to eat, they're
gone.

First, have her checked by a vet (as others have suggested). Next, consider
her food. Some foods can cause bad breath in some cats (but not in all,
which would explain why only one of your cats has this problem). I don't
know what you are using, but I highly recommend that you use a premium
canned food. I use Wellness and Felidae canned, and they don't cost as much
more as grocery-store brands as you might expect because cats don't need as
much quantity with them.

Better check with a vet.
