my favorite cat book is one that i can't remember the title of but i rly wish i could! i read an english translated version of the book, but it was originally in japanese i believe. and i was just so enamored w it bc it was very obviously written by someone who was obsessed w their own cats and taking (very high quality and beautiful~) pictures of their own cats that filled the book along w cute cat facts and stories.
that's where i learned that cats apparently don't emit any sort of body odors on their own? and if they smell like something it's bc they got it rubbed off on them from their environment, which i thought was interesting.
probably a useless comment without knowing the title but i'm crossing my fingers that someone around here magically happens to know the book too! if i can figure it out tho i'll let you know haha.
besides that tho i have a nostalgic attachment to the children's book the cookie store cat~
Re: body odors... The first time I gave catnip to my shelter cat, she was so happy that she ran under the bed and farted (expressed anal glands). It was hilarious.
