We’d all love to think our poop smells like roses, but “Stinky” of Southlake, Wyoming wouldn’t be far off if she wanted to brag. This 13-week-old white kitten exhibits the magnificent ability to excrete fragrant spring lilacs instead of, well, you know — poop.
Like most kittens of her age, Stinky is weaned and has begun eating a standard diet not much different from any other kitten. She has tried sampling different brands such as Iams and Science Diet, to see if this produces any change in her movements. So far, nothing has worked. Stinky is perplexed as to whether or not she should be covering the purple, lilac-scented matter that she leaves behind in the litterbox. Her mother says yes, to cover it out of habit in case the scented properties change at a later date. Others say, no - Stinky’s litter has made potpourri an obsolete item in her household.
Stinky has otherwise been a normal kitten. She eats, drinks, and plays just like other cats. The other kittens in her litter are completely normal, and Stinky herself has no identifying marks or other interesting quirks about her body. Her mother is quoted as saying, “When the kitten breaks wind, it is as fresh as a spring breeze!” but other than the petals found in the kitten’s litter box, which has been converted to a “potpourri bowl,” there has been no evidence that the cat’s gastric emissions contain anything - scent or material - other than flowers.
The young kitten is quickly becoming a star in her community, and has already been approached by several corporations who wish to harness Stinky’s unique power and turn it into a profit-making mechanism. She’s also been offered a job by FTD, a florist company, who would like to use her image — and notoriety — in a campaign to sell flowers.
