Skunk cabbage flowers smell much like rotting meat or skunk smell. Other foul smelling flowers are crown imperials and roadkill skunk.
The foul smell from flowering grass can be attributed to compounds released during the flowering process, such as methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide. These compounds are similar to those found in skunk spray and are responsible for the unpleasant odor.
Skunk smell is caused by a chemical compound called thiol, specifically the compound (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, which is produced by the skunk's anal glands as a defense mechanism. Thiol compounds are known for their strong, foul odor reminiscent of rotten eggs or garlic.
Opinion: Of course skunk smell could distress your cat as it is very strong and a cat has good smell which can make it even stronger. If your cat is in distress and acting strangely smell the air for skunk smell. If you smell it, make sure to keep your cat indoors at all times and do not open any windows. If further distress comes spray air freshener around your house. Do not attempt to let your cat out. If smell does not go away make sure to contact a vet to tell you what to do.yep skunk smell is dangerous

It lets off a very foul smell. Presumably a predator wouldn't want to eat something that foul smelling and most creatures would stay clear of very bad smells. Squirting a foul smelling liquid is their self defence mechanism.
A skunk is an animal that emits a foul smell when alive as a defense mechanism, but when it dies the smell subsides and can be less potent, leading some to describe it as having a sweeter scent.
