cats do not generally smell, so i'm not sure what the problem is in the first
place (?) perhaps there is not one. their litter boxes get smelly & so must
be cleaned regularly but 5 cats who are outside a lot should not make any
personal smells in the house...? are they toms or something? (in which case
they need a spot of surgery, not air freshener, and not only for their
smells! ;-).
open a window, that's free!
horrible plastic "air fresheners" just make foul fake smells & give people
rhinitis, but as i say, cats really should not create a problem in the first
place in smallish quantities, provided they are healthy & their litter box
is clean & their food bowls are kept clean (cat food smells awful when left
uneaten) & they're not toms spraying all over the shop. if it's that you're
worried you're being seen as "that weird man with all the cats" just have a
friend round & give you an honest summation. sometimes after a wife goes,
the housework suffers, iyswim, so if you are concerned there might be
smells, have a sympathetic friend help either to put your mind at ease, or
identify if there is a problem & what it is. but you cannot go wrong with
more fresh air, anyway. we all need to be aware that indoor pollutants can
be a real problem (that has nothing to do with smells).
enjoy your cats!! i like cats but my dog disagrees, so no more cats for me
for at least 10 years.... (and if you want to ask: does my dog make my room
smell? well at the moment, YES!! he needs a bath something chronic. so you
see - if he was a cat, he'd smell perfectly nice!! cats are too smart to go
rolling in mud and animal poo & such.)
