Here's why there's no definitive answer:
* Dogs often have a musky, earthy smell, sometimes with a hint of wet dog. This is due to their sebaceous glands and their tendency to roll in things.
* Cats are known for their "cat-like" scent, which can be described as sweet, powdery, or even musky depending on the cat. Their grooming habits and the scent of their fur contribute to this.
Ultimately, whether you find a dog or a cat to smell better comes down to your own personal taste.
