      Imagine doing laundry? Yeah the fur sheds, but you just clean more often to compensate, it’s fine.

        Nah you can’t do laundry fast enough to not sleep in fur constantly. My dog has his own bed and he’s short haired and still I have have several air purifiers and clean at least once per day to maintain everything. So people who sleep with cats are straight up hoarder territory of nasty imo lol - tho I don’t judge as connecting with an animal like this might be well worth the mess for some people.

          In my experience it depends. Most cats smell better, but I had one cat that wasn’t great at cleaning herself and definitely had a bit of a stink

          Conversely, my dog is a northern breed and doesn’t have much natural smell, plus he likes to roll in my fresh sheets, so he usually smells like fabric softener
