Possible Causes
* He got sprayed by a skunk: This is the most likely scenario. Cats are curious and may get too close.
* He rolled in something smelly: Cats sometimes roll in pungent substances like rotting meat or feces.
* Medical condition: Urinary tract infections or anal gland problems can cause strong odors.
What to Do
Check for skunk spray. If you see an oily substance, use skunk-odor removal products. If you can't find the source or the odor persists, consult your veterinarian.
Important: Skunk spray can cause eye and skin irritation, vomiting, and even seizures. If your cat was sprayed, act quickly and seek professional advice.
