Cat owners often notice that their pets exhibit rather strange taste preferences.

For example, cats often express a desire to eat olives.

Today we invite you to find out what this strange love is connected with. At the same time, you will get an answer to the question of whether it is possible to treat your purr to such a "delicacy".

It turns out that the reason lies in the peculiarities of cats' sense of smell and the properties of olives themselves.

So, our beloved furry creatures have a more developed sense of smell than people, and are able to distinguish smells that we cannot detect.

Olives, in turn, contain essential oils that attract cats with their aroma.

This product, although it contains vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to your cat's health, may cause digestive problems in cats.

Therefore, if you decide to pamper your pet, give him olives in moderation. Alternatively, offer your cat special treats with olive oil.
