One of the most compelling arguments against having a cat in the house is an unpleasant smell.

However, it happens that there are several cats living in the house, but there is no smell.

We explain why some cat owners have a “cat smell” in their home, while others don’t.

Why does it "smell like cats"

It should be noted that if the cat is not neutered, an unpleasant smell in the house cannot be avoided; no measures will help.

If the cat is neutered, but there is still a smell in the house, most likely the problem is in the animal's diet. This happens if the cat is often fed fish.

There will also certainly be a smell if newspapers or sand are used as litter in the tray.

Don't spare money and buy filler, even the cheapest wood or bentonite ones retain odors well.
