Chocolate cat




Winston smells like chocolate
Not all over, just the back of his head and neck. We dont really eat alot of chocoalte, so its not like he would have been petted with chocolate covered hands or anything.
Why would my old boy suddenly start to smell of chocolate?

Re: Chocolate cat


Its so weird I know but you could honestly eat him up if you smelled him
As he is old and has kidney insufficiency, I have kind of been expecting him to smell of wee on occasion, which he never has. But this chocolate thing really has me stumped.
I just cannt think why he would smell like chocolate.
Perfume? yes i would understand that if he had been lying on my clothes.
Wee? yes as I said about the kidney thing.
Aftershave? yes if he were lying on Grahams clothes.
I can think of many things that he may smell of but not chocolate.
I am very confused but I kinda like his new smell

Re: Chocolate cat


Would I sound mentally unbalanced if i called the vet and asked if they knew why Winston smelled of chocolate?
It has been mentioned on another forum to do that because sometimes when people are sick they begin to smell of funny things.
And i do remember my gran smelled of butter biscuits and carbolic soap
Am I being stupid?

Re: Chocolate cat


Diabetes in humans can give an 'acid drop' smell if it gets out of kilter.
Don't think I'd ask the vet unless I ws going for something else.

BRAINWAVE - does he go out? There is a relatively new garden mulch made of crushed cocoa shells. It smells just gorgeous. If one of your neighbours has put some down and he is lying in it......................

Re: Chocolate cat


No, he doesnt go out. He eats, sleeps, has a little play and loves to be cuddled as much and as often as possible.
