What smells do cats go crazy about: this knowledge will help you accustom your pet to a bed or scratching post
Since cats have a keen sense of smell, some scents can be used to correct your pet's behavior.
However, it is worth noting that a comprehensive approach is important in this process. For example, if you bought a new scratching post for your pet and, having treated it with catnip, expect the animal to stop scratching sofas, your expectations may not be met.
If the notorious scratching post is shaky and low, the cat will still avoid it, and no favorite smell will make it use the inconvenient design.
And if the bed or play complex meets all the requirements, why not try to attract your pet’s attention to the new “accessory” using the smell?
So, animals really enjoy the aromas of lemon balm, mint, menthol and eucalyptus. The main thing is that they are barely noticeable, otherwise the result will be completely opposite.
Essential oils of lavender, geranium, and rosemary have a calming effect on pets. Again, in weak doses.
The most powerful stimulants for cats are catnip and matatabi.
If an animal has fallen in love with olives or black olives, there is nothing surprising about this, because their smell leaves almost no cat indifferent, just like the scent of valerian.
An unexpected discovery will be the attachment of cats to the smell of chlorine or the smell of the owner's sweat.
It is impossible not to mention that animals simply enjoy the smell of their favorite food.
