All animals smell. They have natural scents and which are used to mark their territory. The fact that your friends house is the cats territory means that the unmistakable stench of cats dominate the residency even freshly baked cookies, with the lovely aroma spreading throughout the house, would not be able to mask the distinct smell of the creatures. Owners become immune to the scent, but to visitors the scent lingers in nostrils for hours after the first time it enters your nose. This isnt a trend unique to cats, but it is one that is much more noticeable with this species of pet. Sure, dogs pee up every lamppost, but at least they do it outside. Cats are indoor animals, and this means that everything, including the smell, remains on the inside. Cats have a litter tray, with a grotesque smell despised by anyone who doesnt allow a cat to live in their home who wants an animal to defecate in their house? This whole concept is absurd. Then there is the trust that the pet will leave the house once it has been toilet trained this requires a level of trust which you wouldnt give a toddler, so why would you give such a responsibility to a four legged furry creature?
