[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have friends who have dogs and their dogs may stink a bit, but their homes do not smell. CATS, are a different story. I only know of two cat families whose home does not smell at all and its because their homes are clean and tidy. Every other cat home I've been into, reeks of cat, and I try not to spend so much time in their homes because my allergies flare up instantly. The smell is disgusting and yes, the people who live there have odor blindness. [/quote]

You know what's interesting about this? I have three cats and don't think my house smells, but I acknowledge I may very well have odor blindness.

However, if I go to someone else's house that has cats, I'll notice it there.

I once went to an open house and it was obvious the cats sprayed walls or furniture with urine. (Thankfully I do not have that problem).

But I wonder -- is it odor blindness to only your own cats/animals? Or is the condition more applicable anywhere you go? [/quote]

It's a bit of both. Everyone develops a level of odor blindness. But also, just like not all cats and dogs trigger allergies the same way or to the same degree, they don't all smell the same either (assuming a basic level of house hygiene, of course). [/quote]
