My cats breath smells worse than usual when she yawns (I have an exceptional sense of smell, I can smell almost anything). It smells awful! like a hundred yard dumpster full of a 1000 tons of garbage, trash, expired rotten eggs, meat, fish, and a whole countries accumulation of feces and urine!
I don’t know what my pussy put inside herself but she stinks!
Here is a picture of my pussy cat Roxy with my wiener dog Oscar Mayer(lol, get it).

They look so cute together.
Hiya!
From the way you are describing her offending breath, it is most likely that she is suffering from feline halitosis (bad breath).
Besides her bed breath, does she also have the any of the following symptoms?
Oral discharge
Oral pain
Bloody oral discharge
Drooling
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
Difficulty eating
Depression (Lethargic, hiding, staring at the wall, any abnormal behavior)
If yes, you need to bring her to the vet for a thorough medical check up because she could be suffering from other illness where bad breath is one of the symptom.
Otherwise, you can help alleviate her bad breath by regular brushing, Tooth brushes/finger brushes and special toothpastes are available from any stores.
There are also cat treats that are specially formulated to freshen breath and help keep foul smell at bay.
Also, make sure you are feeding good quality food – one that has real muscle meat as the first ingredient (chicken, beef, lamb, venison, turkey) and not animal and meat by products. You should also stay away from food that has a tonnes of cheap fillers such as corn, wheat, gluten meal, rice, etc.
