Ant

We've just got our first ever cat and never owned one before!

We're worried about getting a cat smell in the house.

Can anyone recommend an effective one like the mains ones?

IWatkins

I would wait and see if you get a cat smell in the house. Our last two cats didn't change the smell at all.

Ant

I didn't think there was myself , but the wife got in today and said she could smell it.

Make sure your cat has a catflap and can get outside whenever it wants and you'll have no problems.

Ant

Not possible I'm afraid.

Ant

Cats....my gran used to burn them on the back of her fire...after she had drowned them of course...dogs fared no better

Do cats need air fresheners ??

David Lock

That would mean the cat has shat behind the settee or possibly upstairs on the bed

Ant

Nope , it's already trained uses the litter tray and it doesn't get free reign of the house?

It's 4 months old and got it from a rescue Center so probably just the stench from that place on it

Ant

Yeah keep up they was on dragons den last year

Yep, cat`s are VERY clean, and mine are 20 now and still have no real smell. Just smell of my duvet, from spending most of the day sleeping on there.

Plus it could just be a slight overreaction??

Ant

Possibly the wife is a bit daft

Litter trays are fuking nasty stinky things... what do you feed yur cat as cats fart...

IWatkins

House cat? Then you may get some smell, but mostly from the carpets/rugs. Good Febreeze and Hoover more often should sort it

Turbohot

+1.

My cats are 7 and 5. They don't smell at all.

Ant, congratulations on getting a kitten from a rescue place. Give it time. Hopefully, your kitten will soon be smelling of roses to Mrs. Ant. D Put the picture of your kitten up here for us to see.

Too many burglars where Ant lives, they'd be using the cat-flap.

I thought the joke was "My dog's got no nose...."

Turbohot

Doh!

I saw a dog like yours the other day. It was amazing , but it wouldn't go into the river to swim. I don't know why. The other little dogs were jumping in and out, but he was just decently standing at the bank with his owners. I didn't quite understand why.

Ant

Here she is


Just to add it won't be a house cat, it's just we rent and we can't cut holes in the doors

Turbohot

Scho shweet!

JayM

Sweet?! She looks angry, and has her claws out too :O

Turbohot

She does look a bit defensive and inhibited (often is a case with a rescue cat; she may change with a bit of TLC), but not really angry. Still a cutie for a cat lover like me.

Ant

I did wake her up

EddScott

You could tie a magic tree around its collar? New Car Scent is my favorite and would be cool having it waft around the house as the cat makes its rounds

Seriously though, we have 2 cats and they don't smell themselves. We do have a tray but that is in the utility room so doesn't make the rest of the house smell.

Both cats farted very badly when we first had them and its a first for me as I've had a few cats over the years and none of them farted. Settled down eventually but by god they could drop some shockers!

Leslie

We have had cats for years and have never noticed any smells unless one had just used the kittie litter box for a dump. Cats usually prefer to do that outside in the garden somewhere anyway.

Our replacement for poor Fearless Freddie does drop one occasionally, first time I have noticed that and it can wake one up to put it mildly! Doesn't last long though.

Its amazing how sensitive wives can be if they are worried about something!

Got two cats at home, dont really notice any smell unless you plonk your nose in the litter tray. do have a glade plug in freshner that we keep turned on above the cats area just in case.
not had any issues.

as above they are clean and look after themselves, just get the occassional hairball but thats it.
