Why does my cats smell so good?

[u/1010011010wireless]

My cat regularly smells faintly flowery. But I rarely bathe her, i don't perfume her, i don't dress her up in anything washed with laundry detergent. Is it because she lays out in the sun?

I guess you’re not smelling her breath. Cats’ breath isn’t usually associated with good smells.

Cats really do clean themselves very well. My cat will be dirty and dusty because he’ll roll in the dirt. You can see how dingy his fur looks. Then, he’ll come inside and in an hour, he’ll be spotless.

She might have found flowers or maybe some perfume to roll in. I have never bathed my cat.

Since both of my cat lost all of their teeth last summer, they don't have a stinky breath anymore :D
