dude: no?
me: it’s really strong. like, real dank weed.
dude: *sniffs* no? oh– kind of? or… skunk?
me: *sniffs harder* no it’s definitely– oh shit that’s definitely skunk.
dude: uh where’s the cat
me: uhhh i don’t know
dude: that’s a skunk
me: if it sprayed our cat she would’ve run her ass back to the house by now screaming the whole way
dude: i’m gonna close the porch door anyway

I hope the cat didn't get skunked! Around here it's hard to tell if it's a skunk or weed, since the local kids seem to smoke the most disgusting weed ever, but having had a dog get skunked, the former is much worse.

The cat did not, in fact, get skunked, and the smell is gone this morning so we can't tell where it was. It's raining now, so.

I've had a dog skunked in the past, it is The Worst.

It was really funny how it was so strongly "weed" to me at the very beginning, and it was in the middle of an inhale that it suddenly changed for me.

A few years back someone got skunked in the middle of the night out by the yurt and I woke up hallucinating coffee, which was quite entertaining. That one also, my understanding of the scent shifted mid-inhale as I was lying there in bed completely confused, I'm a quarter-mile from the nearest coffee pot at least, how the hell am I -- ohhhh that's a skunk in the distance.
