[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and thanks for the responses. Based on the responses and my experiences, I actually think most of the people saying their house didn't smell are suffering from odor blindness or just got really lucky with a non-smelly pet.

I do appreciate the suggestions on considering oiliness.[/quote]

I think the cats vs dogs thing is true. I have never had pets and am super sensitive to smells. My very clean friends (weekly housecleaners who deep clean plus a clean seeming dog) with dogs have houses that truly don't smell.

Every cat house I know smells. No matter how clean the person is.

Cat smell also lingers for, like decades. My MIL is very very clean, her cat passed away 10 years ago, and there is one room in her house that still smells like cat. We own a duplex type of house, and when our cat-owning tenants moved out, I actually needed to renovate the unit down to the studs (remove the walls and ceilings) in order to get rid of the cat smell.
