The appearance of a cat in the house implies some changes in the habits and behavior of all household members. For example, you will definitely have to give up some smells, because cats perceive aromas differently than we do, and some aromas can cause them not just immediately, but real stress and even poisoning.
GLOBAL HAPPENINGS talks about the smell that irritates the most cats. It is even used to raise an animal.
This is about citrus fruit scent. Regardless, it will be a lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit or another representative of this family. The reason for this dislike is that the citric acid contained in these fruits is toxic to cats, so evolution has taught them to avoid contact with a dangerous substance at all costs. Particularly because of the smell. However, this scent can be used to discourage a cat from using certain areas as a toilet or scratching furniture. It is enough to put a slice of citrus in such a place or apply a couple of drops of juice and the cat will start bypassing it in the tenth way.
It is also important to know what other scents can disgust cats. All items that emit these odors are toxic to furries.
Essential oils
Volatile organic compounds contained in essential oils can cause severe poisoning in cats. Therefore, it is possible to light an aroma lamp or turn on a diffuser only if the animal is not in the room where the device is operating.
Hot peppers
The substance capsaicin, which gives peppers their pungent taste, is also toxic to cats. Therefore, a pinch of ground chili can also be a good repeller for an animal. But you can’t use too many.
Vinegar
Vinegar is often used for house cleaning. But it must be taken into account that it can be toxic to cats. If you have such an animal, the remains will have to be washed off especially carefully.
Melun coffee
Caffeine is toxic to cats and can cause poisoning in them. Therefore, it is better to keep animals away from freshly ground beans and even from coffee grounds. At the same time, it can be sprinkled on houseplant pots if you want to protect them from a fluffy who is planning to equip a playground or a toilet there.
Previously, GLOBAL HAPPENINGS told why cats arrange noisy concerts with screams in the middle of the night, and also makes cats suddenly take off and run around the house.
