why do cats smell?

Answer 1

what else would they do with their noses?

Answer 2

Our cat doesn't smell. Maybe you need to clean the litter box more often. Also, the food makes a difference, we feed Science Diet. Some cheap cat foods really reek. If your cat is ill take it to a vet. You can also have a groomer give it a bath once in a while.

Usually cats don't smell bad but when they do it's usually diet related. Stop the fish if that's in the diet. After I put my cats on CD formula from the vet all the "smell issues" disappeared in my house.
