My cat smells like gasoline

so my cat came in and smelled strongly of gas

I'm not sure if someone was trying to burn him or if he rolled around in it or something like that

he wasn't wet with the stuff so it wasn't obvious where the smell was coming from

so I gave him a bath by rubbing a damp cloth on him and used regular people shampoo

his coat is nice and shiny now and he smells ok but srsly wtf

maybe the cat was trying to blow somebody up

oohhhhh thats mischievous

gummo

someone photoshop "arson cat"

terrorist kitteh!

fuck your cat

Could be a Buddhist pacifist kitty too.

sorry, didn't mean that.

you should have given him a spliff and collapsed the wave function

Probably just having a kip under a car. Cats like warm underside of car ...

.was it a car or a cat i saw.

I hope no ones trying to fuck with it

I'll kill em

he's a really good cat

his behavior didn't change so I don't the he ingested anything

One of my cats often smells like fireplace when he returns, or some kind of extra smoky barbecue sauce... where is he going

Cats like Tex-Mex restaurants too.

yeah petrol evaporates REALLY fast so even if someone did put petrol on him it probably woulda dried super quick

really hope that wasn't the case though. cats are awesome :(

Heh, my old cat would do the same. At first I thought he was hanging out by some wood bonfire, since it was winter in Northern MA, but he'd be able to pick up that aroma in the summer months, too. I wanted to follow him, but I never did. He smelled delicious.

Brings a whole new slant to the phrase 'the cats gone out'.

Seriously,I hope hes ok.My year old cat was savaged by two terriers last week but is recovering slowly.

nedm

i was staying at a friend's house in college and her kitten came in smelling like gas. we did the same thing... just washed it off in the shower. the cat loved me after that. we never figured out how it happened.

Sleeping under a car engine I presume.

That or your cat is a terrorist.

My god, after reading some of the posts in here, I don't see why someone would have their cats be outdoors cats. AAGH. I'd rather be stuck inside than smelling of petrol/smoke or be attacked by Terriers.

it's not a daily occurrence

I feel like all animals should be outdoors but if they wanna come it and hang out with me that's all the same

And you didn't strike a match to find out? For shame.
