I'm not complaining, it's just interesting

Last winter, I somehow got the odor of giraffe urine into my snowboots. Yesterday they were soaking wet after lots of walking in deep snow, so I put them on the radiator to dry. I just picked them up and was greeted with fresh-baked funk.

(Giraffe urine is curiously close to cat spray in odor tone. A little earthier, less acrid, but still powerfully musky and persistent.)
