Living with cats is always a source of joy, laughter, and tenderness. However, to ensure their well-being, you must avoid stressing them. In this #LivelongTip, we review 5 things cats hate:
- Strong odors: Their sense of smell is very sensitive. The smell of bleach, tobacco, citrus, garlic, rue, eucalyptus, or strong perfumes, among others, is unpleasant to them and they will actually avoid it.
- Noise: Did you know that cats have a more powerful sense of hearing than dogs? That’s why loud noises are particularly frightening for them.
- A dirty litter box: Cats are extremely clean animals. If you have a cat, you know how important it is that their litter box is always clean. Otherwise, they’ll prefer to do their needs elsewhere.
- Routine changes: Cats are creatures of habit. Keeping the status quo and maintaining control over their environment gives them security and well-being.
- Closed doors: Although temperament and training differ among cats, their innate curiosity usually drives them to want to poke around and explore everything accessible to them.
Now that you know what cats dislike, you can avoid these issues to prevent bothering yours. Remember, caring for them also involves ensuring their emotional and psychological well-being.
