Ahhhh, that sweet cat smell. You know the one we're talking about. Well, maybe not, because apparently, each cat smells different. Even if each of them have a different scent, we can all agree on one thing: they smell purrfectly amazing. We're not quite sure how they do it seeing as they don't indulge in purrfumes or take baths with rose-scented soaps, but somehow they still manage to smell like a newborn baby. We got as curious as a cat (and we all know how curious that is) about what everyone's cats smell like, so we found some hissterical answers from the cat community about the unique smell of their fluffy fragrant felines.

From "happiness and cinnamon" to "baby powder", these cats are confirming our theory that cats have the meowgical ability to smell good, no matter what. You might be surprised at some of these awwdorable answers below, so be sure to read through all of them to see the variety of smells each cat can have!

    I'll start. Shinobi's fur smells like a combination of Fall Leaves and Maple Syrup.

    Ours smells like freshly made pancakes. So, we guess that our cats kind of have a similar smell! How do they manage to smell like that, despite being nowhere near any of these things? It's meowgic!

    via u/3slimesinatre

    Well, if that's what happiness smells like, we want to smell it all the time. Maybe it's because we associate our cats with happiness. Or, maybe they got into the cinnamon jar and decided to roll in it. The second might be a more believable option.

    emmaliminal 3h ago • Twenty years ago we had an awesome orange cat who smelled exactly like honey... turned out one of his "other families", the next door neighbors, kept bees and had a side hustle making candles! He was the last outdoor-allowed cat we'll ever have. He was well known all over our neighborhood as he adored people AND dogs, but especially little kids, like the beekeeper's 5-year-old.
