Everyone knows what will happen to a cat if they smell valerian. Pets can play with the bottle for a long time or rub against the surface where the fragrant bottle stood.
This is not the only scent that disturbs the peace of the mustachioed ones.
Experts have revealed what other smells cats like.
Cats' sense of smell is 14 times better developed than humans'. Thanks to the presence of the vomeronasal organ, pets can detect the finest odors.
Olive
Cats don't care about olives themselves, but the smell of the olive tree will not leave them indifferent.
The composition includes the substance oleuropein. The reaction to it in pets is similar to that of catnip.
Honeysuckle
The smell of the bush is very pleasant for cats, but this is the opposite case. Honeysuckle acts as a sedative.
The leaves of the shrub are used to combat animal anxiety, insomnia and stress.
But honeysuckle berries can cause severe poisoning in cats.
Lavender
The plant belongs to the same family as catnip. But the reaction can be very different and rather individual.
Thyme
It has a calming effect. The infusion is used to treat eye diseases in animals.
