Cats washing themselves

Okay anybody who has a cat knows that they clean themselves by licking. So they use their bristly tongue and spit as their own scrubbing brush and detergent. Since they are not using detergents it is a really good way of helping the environment.

Why is it then that they do not smell?

Can you imagine getting up in the morning and having a good wash with your spit? I’m pretty sure that nobody would come anywhere near you for the rest of the day.

Mind you it’s a guaranteed way of always getting a seat on public transport. I wonder if it will catch on?  😛
