Cats don’t like the smell of oranges because oranges contain orange peel essential oil. Orange peel essential oil is a volatile aromatic hydrocarbon with a strong smell. Cats’ sense of smell is more sensitive than humans, and they are even more sensitive to pungent smells. The pungent smell produced by oranges will make cats uncomfortable. If a cat accidentally smells the smell of oranges, it will immediately back up as if it was electrocuted, wrinkle its nose and curl its lips with an expression of disgust, and even retching.

Things cats hate:

1. Mothballs. The ingredients of camphor are toxic to cats and may cause acute camphor oil poisoning and death. At the same time, the strong smell of camphor balls is also disliked by cats.

2. Sour things, such as vinegar and lemon. Every time a cat smells something sour, it will feel like there is something in its nose, which makes it uncomfortable.

3. Cat litter boxes that are not cleaned in time. Cats have very high requirements for themselves and the surrounding environment. If they are not cleaned in time, some cats will dislike the litter box being too dirty and will not bury their feces, or they will not enter the litter box to urinate anywhere.

4. Garlic smell. Garlic is a forbidden food for cats, and the smell of garlic is also annoying to cats. Because garlic contains sulfur compounds, it produces a spicy and pungent smell, so cats hate the smell of garlic.
