Any young male domestic cats around?

There are a couple of neighbors with outside cats down
the road a bit. I've never had a male cat--is the urine
really pungent enough to confuse with mild skunk smell?

I've smelled skunk quite a number of times in the woods where I live
(and it is unmistakably different from the smell of male cat spray),
but I have never seen one. I keep hoping my dog never locates him.

Skunk definitely does not smell like anything but skunk. I understand
washing a dog in tomato juice knocks the smell (mostly) out.

There were quite a few in Texas when I was at Ft. Hood. Every morning
on the way to work I would get at least one whiff. One morning I was
stopped at a light and the smell kept getting stronger and stronger. I
almost thought the critter was in the back seat. Fortunately when the
light changed and I drove off the fresh air told me it had been outside
the car. I never saw one dead or alive near the intersection so I don't
know where it was coming from.
