CATDOLL : Why does the cat smell bad?

Reasons why cats stink:

1. Is the cat's ear canal clean? If there is a lot of dark secretions, the cat may have ear mites, Malassezia, ear diseases and other diseases.

2. The cat has not been bathed for a long time. It has been stained with other unclean things, or stepped on the stench of feces.

3. If you don’t pay attention to cleaning your cat’s mouth on a regular basis, bacteria will grow in the mouth, which can induce diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis, so an unpleasant odor will emanate from the cat’s mouth.

4. If the cat has skin problems, check the cat's hair and skin color to see if it is normal, whether there are black spots, and if so, there may be parasites.

5. If there is no problem with the whole body, then you need to check the anal glands. Don’t think that only dogs have anal glands. Cats also need to squeeze their anal glands regularly. If you often bathe your cats at home, you should pay attention to this problem.

6. Male cats have a stronger body odor when they are in estrus. This is their way of attracting the opposite sex.

How to remove cat body odor:

1. Let the cat go to the bathroom in a fixed place, and the owner should also clean the excrement in the litter box in time to keep the litter box clean.

2. Comb your cat's hair regularly every day, bathe it regularly, and keep its hair clean and dry.

3. Clean the cat's ears. The earwax in the ears is the reason why the cat's body stinks. Use a brush or ear pick to remove the dirty things in the ears, and then use a cotton ball dipped in saline to clean it.

4. Give your cat regular physical examinations. The cat may be sick, in which case it needs to be sent to a pet hospital for treatment.
