Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2004Does your cat "stink"?
Does your cat "stink"? I've had mine since August, and have never had to bathe her during that time (thank goodness). She smells better now than the day I brought her home. It's nice that cats take care of themselves, but I was wondering if anyone had a cat that no longer licked themselves, or couldn't smell themselves due to illness or some other circumstance? -- Hilary Duff is America's sweetheart & an international heartbreaker.

If a cat stops grooming it is a sure sign that s/he is sick and should go to the vet immediately. >> Does your cat "stink"? >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >illness >> or some other circumstance? Yes, I took in a stray that smelled bad. I attributed it to God knows what the poor thing's diet had been, because his teeth were okay and he was otherwise healthy. He fell over dead at about 8 months old. Upon autopsy, they ffound so much infection inside, part of his intestines were already necrotic and his lungs were full of infection. That was the smell. Sherry Unusual smells in Cats should be investigated by a Vet. Cats can get bad odor from various infections wether they be microbial or parasitic. A profesional health check will be a good investment for you and your kitty. > >> Does your cat "stink"? > >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Sherry Good Lord, what a horrible story! How the poor kitty must have suffered. You were very kind to have taken him in. In the weeks before we finally put him down my cat Precious had an odor to him. Not so much from not cleaning but from infection/decay. > Does your cat "stink"? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > "That which does not kill me makes me stronger." -- unknown |
