Cats are known to be very clean, but they also like the smell of human sweat.
We'll tell you how scientists explain this paradox.
Why do cats like the smell of human sweat?
Firstly, the smell of the owner's sweat is liked by the cat simply because it is a familiar smell that gives a feeling of security.
The owner's scent is the sweetest aroma for a cat, even if the owner has just worked up a good sweat on the exercise machine.
Animals, unlike people, do not associate the smell of sweat with untidiness.
Scientists also explain cats' addiction to the smell of human sweat by the presence of pheromones and salt in it.
