Well i can say that my cats always smell good because they are indoor/outdoor cats and they just smell...fresh! like clothes that have just been taken off the line outside, they smell clean and fresh! My dog also smells good though, so maybe i just got lucky and got some not-so-stinky pets!:) I am not sure if it has anything to do with them cleaning themselves since Cats usually have stinky breath, so i dont see how that would help the smell. Dogs can also have stinky breath too, but at least it doesnt smell like catfood!

Yes,cats are certainly more cleaner than the dogs. If you watch both the dog and the cat closely you will notice that, Cats spend almost all their free time licking themselves and they like to keep themselves clean. But,dogs aren't like that. You may have seen a dog licking itself.But,it would lick itself only if there is an injury there.I mean,it licks mainly only to heal himself,and not to clean himself. Cheers!
