    5 things cats don’t like

    If only your furry pet could speak, it would tell you so much about everything you do wrong each day. 

    You probably think cats are moody, but that is an adjective your feline would undoubtedly use to describe you.

     

    Your cat knows perfectly well that satisfying its needs is a straightforward task. Cats believe they only ask for a little and sometimes need help understanding why you are getting it wrong. 

    Although you are doing a lot to keep your feline happy and healthy, it is sometimes not enough. That is why we should check together the list of things cats don't like and what you can do about it. 

    Cats don't like changes

    Cats are not fans of significant changes such as changing environments or having a new family member. These can trigger anxiety in a cat.

    While we have the power to rationalize and prepare for what's coming next, our cats don't. Their lives are entirely dependent on outside influences. Therefore when something changes, your cat is afraid of how that change will affect them.

    Even more minor changes, such as moving a litter box, should be done gradually.


    Cats don't like to be bored

    Although cats don't like changes, they also don't want to be bored. 

    While many cats live indoors, they evolved from big outdoor cats and kept their instinct to run and explore. Not being able to engage those instincts can make your pet feel bored.

    Give your cat new exciting and interactive toys to stimulate its mind and make it more active and comfortable.


    Cats are scared of vacuum cleaners

    Do humans like loud sounds and noise? Usually, they don't. The loud noise from your vacuum cleaner can be scary for cats

    Cats sleep a lot; they like peace, so the sudden appearance of a big, noisy machine can make them feel frightened. Cats are scared of vacuum cleaners, but there are things you can do to change this feeling. Turn the vacuum cleaner first in another room. Once your feline is comfortable with this sound at a distance, try to turn it on in the same room.

    Cats don't like strong smells

    Amongthe things cats don’t likeis your perfume. Cats don't like strong smells.

    Cats have excellent noses, and this is why too much perfume or deodorizers will make your pet avoid locations with these scents.

    Cats like the smell of silver vine, catnip, and lavender.

     

    Cats don't like to interact with strangers

    When an unfamiliar person meets your cat and tries to pet it, you have to pay attention to the cat's reaction. This is especially important if that human being is a kid. To check if your cat is enjoying new company, let it sniff their hand and then watch how it behaves.

    Your cat knows perfectly well that satisfying its needs is a straightforward task. There are more than a few things cats don't like, but they still believe they are not asking too much and need help understanding why you sometimes get it wrong.
