" "Meow~"" A brisk cry broke the tranquility of the morning. I opened my eyes and saw that my British shorthair cat was licking its snow-white hair. The sun shone through the curtains, and a layer of golden light was placed on her body, and the whole room was filled with a faint scent of milk.
My cat is one of the legendary "most odorful" breeds. Even if she doesn't take a bath for a long time, she always smells fragrant, which makes me, a person who is sensitive to odor, no longer have to worry about the smell of the cat.
01
recognized as the "most odor" 5 cat breeds
1. British Shorthair Cat
My family is a British shorthair cat, with soft short hair and a cute round face. British shorthair cats are born to love cleanliness and spend a lot of time licking their hair every day. Their sweat glands have a low level of development, and their habit of being diligent in cleaning, so they have a faint milky smell on their bodies, and they will not emit any odor even if they don’t take a bath for a long time.
British shorthair cat has a gentle personality and is a very ideal indoor companion cat. They don’t need too much exercise and have moderate activity, so they don’t easily cause odor due to sweating.
2. American Shorthair Cats
American Shorthair Cats are larger and rough on the outside, but in fact they are very lively and active. Although the amount of exercise is very high, American shorthair cats have not developed a lot of sweat glands, so even if they are too energetic, they will not have too much smell on their bodies.
This kind of cat likes to lick the hair and keep it clean. The coat has a good texture and is not easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, American shorthair cats can often smell a faint fragrance, even male cats.
3. The elegant and generous Siamese cat is also one of the "most odorful" breeds. This kind of cat is born with a lot of attention to personal hygiene and spends a lot of time licking and combing every day.
Siamese cats have moderate activity and average sweat gland development, so even if they don’t take a bath for a long time, they will only have a faint fragrance on their bodies, which will definitely not be disgusting.
4. Ragdoll cats
Long-haired Ragdoll cats look fluffy and seem to be easy to tie knots, but in fact, their coat has a very good texture and is not easy to tie knots and breed bacteria.
Rubbow cats are gentle and clean, and they are diligent in licking their hair every day. Their activity volume is not too large, so even if they don’t take a bath for a long time, they will only have a faint fragrance on their bodies.
5. The last "a "most smelly" cat breed is the unique Scottish Fold cat. These cats are widely loved because of their natural folding ear shape, but they are not as "e as they look "fear".
The Scottish fold cat has a relatively small amount of activity, so it is not easy to emit a odor due to sweating. With the habit of being diligent in cleaning, they naturally only have a faint fragrance on them.

Why are these cats not prone to odor?
Why are the above five kinds of cats "the least smelly"? The main reasons are as follows:
Innate genes determine the body odor of each animal is related to their genes. The genes of these five cat breeds determine that their sweat glands are relatively low, so they are naturally not prone to having strong body odors.
Pay attention to personal hygiene and be diligent in licking hair
Most cats have the habit of being diligent in cleaning, but these five breeds pay more attention to personal hygiene. They spend a lot of time licking their hair every day to comb their hair, and clean up dirt and bacteria on their bodies in time to avoid odor.
Moderate activity, not easy to sweat and produce a odor
Excessive exercise will cause the cat to sweat, thus emitting an unpleasant smell. However, the activity volume of these five varieties is relatively moderate, so it is not easy to produce odor due to sweating.
The veil has a good texture and is not easy to breed bacteria. Bacteria is one of the main causes of odor in animals. The matte texture of these five types of cats is very good, and it is not easy to tie knots and breed bacteria, so it will naturally not have too much smell.

Even for "the least smelly" cats, we should bathe and care appropriately to clean the dirt and dander on our bodies. However, the frequency of bathing does not need to be too high, just take it every 2 to 3 months.

The body odor of cats is also related to their diet. We need to feed these cats high-quality, nutritious cat food so that their bodies will be healthier and naturally they will not easily have a odor.
