In this video, we’ll discuss the top 10 smells cats hate that you should avoid!
#1 Herbs and plants
There are plenty of household plants that are safe for cats, but there are also a number of herbs and plants that cats don’t like. These include lavender, rosemary, thyme, peppermint, rue, geranium and eucalyptus. Rue and mint in particular can be toxic to cats and should be avoided.
#2 Citrus
Cats hate citrus. This is a fact that has been backed up by numerous studies. The reason for this is still unknown, but it is believed that the scent of citrus is simply too overwhelming for cats. This can lead to them feeling uncomfortable and even anxious. If you want to keep your cat happy, it's best to avoid using any products with citrus scents.
#3 Dirty litter box
Cats are very clean creatures and will usually refuse to use a dirty litter box. A dirty litter box can often be the reason why a cat will stop using the box altogether and start urinating outside the box. This can lead to a number of problems, including urinary tract infections, constipation, and even aggression. If you think your cat may be avoiding the litter box because it is dirty, be sure to clean it out regularly. A clean litter box will help keep your cat happy and healthy.
#4 Spices
It's no secret that cats dislike spicy smells. In fact, they hate them so much that they will go out of their way to avoid them. This is because cats have a very sensitive sense of smell, and spicy smells are simply too overwhelming for them. Studies have shown that cats dislike the smell of spices such as pepper, mustard, and cinnamon. So, if you're looking to keep your cat away from something, try using a spicy scent. It just might do the trick.
#5 Cleaning products
Cats are known for their fastidious grooming habits, but did you know that they also hate the smell of cleaning products? That's right - the strong scent of bleach and other cleaning products can be offensive to cats, causing them to avoid areas that have been recently cleaned. So, if you're looking to keep your cat happy and away from your freshly cleaned floors, be sure to keep cleaning products out of their reach. And if you're looking for a natural way to clean your home that won't bother your feline friend, consider using natural products instead.
#6 Old fish
It is a well-known fact that cats hate the smell of old fish. This is because old fish are often smelly and slimy, and they just don't taste very good. Also, cats have a very keen sense of smell, and the smell of old fish can be too strong for them.
#7 Banana
It is generally accepted that cats do not like banana. This is most likely due to the fact that banana does not contain any of the nutrients that cats need in their diet. Additionally, the texture of banana can be off-putting for some cats. If you're looking to give your cat a treat, you're better off sticking with catnip or another type of food that is specifically designed for cats.
#8 Soaps and deodorants
There is a popular belief that cats hate soaps and deodorants. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Nevertheless, cats have a strong sense of smell and are very sensitive to certain smells. Soaps and deodorants are two common household products that contain ingredients that can be offensive to cats and should be avoided.
#9 Onions
Onions are a common household vegetable known for their pungent smell and their sharp taste. While most people enjoy the taste of onions, cats do not. In fact, there are some who believe that onions are poisonous to cats. Evidence suggests that onions can cause gastrointestinal distress in cats. For this reason, it is generally advised that cat owners avoid feeding their cats onions.
#10 Vinegar
Cats hate vinegar. The smell is offensive to them and they will avoid it at all costs. If you're looking for a natural way to keep your cat away from certain areas of your home, simply spray vinegar in those areas.
