Everyone knows that cats don’t like every scent.

Many owners use this information for their own personal gain - for example, they wean their pets off unwanted behavior using "aromatherapy."

However, it is worth understanding that animals will be indifferent to some smells.

What fragrances will your pet not like?

Spices

Almost all spices with a strong aroma are extremely unpleasant for cats, experts say. Therefore, we can safely mention all types of pepper, curry mix, cinnamon and even dry mustard.

By the way, many people use cinnamon to neutralize the smell of urine, but it is recommended to dissolve it in water first. In this case, it will not harm the pet's body.

Oranges

It is believed that cats do not like almost all the aromas from the citrus "line". Therefore, they are often used for educational purposes.

For example, the crusts can be placed in the place that the cat has decided to “designate” as its new litter box.

Some food products

It is worth knowing that some foods also have a repulsive effect on cats. Most often, we are talking about onions and garlic, as they actually have a very "impressive" aroma.

Some animals also don't like bananas.

Earlier we talked about how to understand that a cat is human-oriented .
