Sort of a musky odor. She's a long hair silky cat, sort of ornery when she doesn't get her way, and I frankly dread trying to bathe her.
Many online sources say that she doesn't need to be bathed. What saith the Hive? |

Musky like BO/sweaty clothes kind of funk? You could groom her with a rubber cat-mitt and use some cat grooming oil instead of bathing. http://www.amazon.com/Luca-Pet-detangling-conditioning-nourishing/dp/B00H59B5V2/ref=sr_1_7?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1425851353&sr=1-7&keywords=cat+grooming+spray |
There is a product for cats similar to a big baby wipe, for cleaning their coat. I've not used them though. I do have and use a spray shampoo conditioner made by the Furminator company. Spray the coat and brush or comb the cat until dry, or nearly so. It smells good.

She LOVES being brushed, at least on her back and sides, and I'm acclimating her to brushing her tummy and chin. So I've got that going for me. |

Cats do NOT need to be bathed, they are self-cleaning. They do need regular grooming/brushing, especially long hairs. Could be a lot of things; diet related, dental problems, dingleberries, skin condition, etc. Yes generally cats are self cleaning. An odor could indicate some type of medical problem. |

Wait, are you talking about an actual cat? Lol I thought you mean the other kind, and the op can be read like that if you try lol. I was like why are these guys being helpful, I think it's a goof.
Yeah last time I tried to wash my cat I ended the day with many more holes than I started |
