Odorous household pet
A smelly cat is a cat with an unpleasant odor, popularized by the comedic song performed by the character Phoebe Buffay on the television series *Friends*.

The phrase sometimes references the show nostalgically or jokes about malodorous pets: What are they feeding you, smelly cat?
