Our girl-cat, who began the Japanese name tradition, is named Puk after A Midsummer Night’s Dream – different spelling I know – and her other name is Punkuma, which was the word written on a teddy bear on a tea cup I have that came from Japan. I knew Kuma meant ‘bear’ so I thought the word meant ‘teddy bear’ but it’s actually a character’s name and it means either ‘bakery bear’ or ‘bread bear’. ^-^

Worms seem to have a very yucky smell, but I’ll still rescue them from a hot foot-path. ^-^

Elisha — Oh! Oh! I think bugs and stuff can smell, too! I think worms have a smell. It’s like wet, rotting blanket. Now, the icing sugar thing is interesting. I would love for my cats to smell of that. Is one of your cats named Cupcake, by any chance?

Laser John — Thankfully, none of my cats go outside anymore. If they had a run-in with a skunk, they’d be eating their meals outside for a month.

My girl-cat, Puk, spends less time outside, I think that’s why she has less odd smells about her. >^-^<

AVCr8teur — Neither did my sister, who promptly emailed me to say she and her co-workers were just arguing over whether skunk can smell like coffee. All her coworkers who read my post got to say “See??? Kathy says so!”

AuntieE — I thought of getting up and checking for a split second, but then I thought it was just our furnace kicking in. Then the coffee. I do wonder how many people wait a while before discovering a real fire in their houses. Time is so critical. I promise next time I’ll check.

absepa — In a hotel for only a few days? I would have thought two weeks. I can’t imagine the smell in there. I mean, when you pass an area where a skunk was hit by a car, you can smell it for a mile in all directions. My God. You have my deepest sympathies.

MA Fat Woman — My husband knows not to EVER do that to me or I’ll divorce him just as soon as I punch him in the teeth.

Jeff — He is a man of few words and doesn’t really care to argue the finer points of smells in the middle of the night.

Nessa — Yeah, that was a good one. Went well with the stench in here.

Knucklehead — I have a funny image in my head of a skunk sitting at my kitchen table, reading the paper over a cup of Folgers. He’s a cartoon, though, so no smell.

Dorothy Stahlnecker — It definitely was a skunk. An idiot skunk who decided our house made a good mark.

roxx — Well, we determined it was really a skunk. No fire, no smoke, no burnt coffee. I did look out on the back porch to see if a skunk was dead out there, but we figure he just sprayed somewhere and went on his merry, smelly way.

Spencey — That would have been too easy. Good to see you here! Love your blog!

Bread Maker Matt — It was a skunk all right. No mistaking it. It would have been funny to see Lucky explaining the coffee maker to a skunk. “See, now this is how you do it. There’s a lot of buttons here, but you only need this one to turn it on. Now make me breakfast.”
