Cat-loving humans are the best kind of humans, and that is just our humble professional personal opinion. And as cat-loving humans ourselves, we can attest to the realness that is 'cat sniffing.' Our cats have a unique and purrfect scent, when we catch a whiff of them we smell home. We smell comfort, we smell cuteness and adorability, it's hard to explain but it is just wonderful!

This might be a strange phenomenon to grasp for non-cat-sniffing humans, it sounds kind of weird no? Cat sniffing? Trust us, once you have a cat you will understand. No pressure, but get a cat. We can not even begin to tell you guys how much joy and happiness they bring to our lives! And that feeling we get when we sniff them…the feeling of being completely at peace in the comfort of our homes, it's priceless.

    Human body - I refuse to believe people don't INHALE their cats scent everyday, they smell so good. It's such an indescribable smell but so addictive. So who else inhales their cat???

    Font - grumpyfeline21 · 27 days ago My two cats both have their own distinct scent. There's nothing better than gently resting your head on them while they are purring and just reveling in their soft fur and the scent of home

    Font - Kitten_Gnosis 27 days ago Absolutely. I joke with my cats and tell them that they smell like a "fancy purse". It doesn't really make any sense but they seem to appreciate the compliments. 372 Reply Share ... Tr4shB0at OP +3 · 27 days ago Awww, "fancy purse" you are so right. That fresh smell but also kinda musty in a way.

    Facial expression - LordSilverfist · 27 days ago My cat smells so good!!! He hates when I sniff or nuzzle into him, he will graciously allow a couple seconds, and then if I don't stop, he leaves. I sniff him to calm down sometimes, his scent is so comforting.

    Font - whitsonot · 27 days ago When I first got my cat she was so weirdly stinky (probably really nervous and emitting her smells) and I didn't understand when people said this. Now I pick up my cat and sniff her at least 10 times a day and I can't get enough

    Font - Lyrina8 · 27 days ago Munchkin Fun fact! The cats you bond with smell good to you because that's your inner animal telling you this is familiar companion, a pack mate. That smell not only tells your instincts that they're safe and trustworthy, but releases a chemical in your brain that soothes you.
