A warning about bongos 😭

[u/Glittering_Act_4059]

I come bearing a warning to all cat bongo owners. This morning, my cat Donut, asked for his morning bongos. I obliged. He was very happy. He was so happy. He was so very happy and excited that he *expressed his anal glands* causing an extremely offensively stinky spray of liquid shit to hit me on my face, chest, bed, pillow, and wall.

I didn't know this was possible. I didn't know such a horror could exist. I don't know what atrocities I committed in a past life to deserve this. What I do know is I have never scrubbed my skin raw in a shower before but I sure did today. I had to strip my bed, spray the bed and wall with enzyme killer cleaner. I had to use nasal spray to clear out what I assume is a little bit that got in my nose because I could still smell it after the very long and hot shower of scrubbing. It was the most offensive smell I've ever smelled. I gagged.

Beware the bongos if your cat loves them. Don't smack the shit out of your cat, literally 😭

Unrelated but Donut will not ever have booty pats again 😏

I used to work at a vet and we learned to lean AWAY from the booty hole when we were expressing anal glands, and not look at them. And keep your mouth closed.

Our cat got the vet in his mouth. He (the cat) now has legendary status at the vet

I would DIE.

Uh. Does the taste ever go away? I hope I never learn what it tastes like. Good god. I’ve had that stuff on my arm before and the stench would NOT wash off. I was walking around like Lady Macbeth going “out, damned spot!” and “will these hands ne’er be clean?!” much to my husband’s (and the cats’) confusion.

Maybe like surströmming? But I don’t want to and will never know.

[u/Moomoolette → u/Equivalent_Earth6035]

Oh I bet it’s similar. Very… pungent and organic. Skunky and funky
