Reply to comment by ksquad80 in TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65

Why do my cats smell so good in general? Idk what smell it is per say but I just want to stick my face in my cats fur sometimes cause it’s just a comforting smell

A luxury we allergy-free superhumans can enjoy. My inferior brother who is allergic to cats and dogs and pretty much everything with fur would cringe at the thought. I like to take a handful of fluff from my pomeranian mix and rub it all over my eyes..."Hey bro, does THIS bother you?"

My Pom has some poodle in him so he is delightfully hypoallergenic but I still like to torture my older brother. Really I should be holding him down and rubbing cats all over his face for all the years or torment and bullying I endured during his regime as the oldest brother :P

Plenty of people would think you were unhinged, misbehaving and generally strange, but those people never had an older sibling.
