The Feline Fiasco Why Citrus
Scent is a CatastropheAs any
cat lover knows our feline
friends can be quite finicky
when it comes to their
surroundings From the type of
food they prefer to the
texture of their favorite toys
cats are notorious for being
particular about whats around
them One thing that may
surprise you however is that
many cats have a strong
dislike for citrus scentsBut
why you ask Well it all boils
down to biology You see cats
have a highly developed sense
of smell and their brains are
wired to respond strongly to
certain smells Citrus fruits
like lemons and oranges
contain high concentrations of
limonene a compound that is
known to be particularly
potent in triggering a cats
instinctual responseSo what
does this mean for our feline
friends For one it means that
citrus scents can be
overwhelming and even
stressful for cats Imagine
walking into a room filled
with the overpowering aroma of
fresh lemons or oranges its
not exactly the most relaxing
experience is it And thats
exactly how many cats feel
when theyre exposed to
citrusBut what about all those
cat owners who insist on using
citrusscented cleaning
products or essential oils in
their homes Are we
inadvertently driving our poor
cats crazy Absolutely Think
about it youre creating a
superfluous amount of citrus
scent which can easily become
overwhelming for your feline
companion And trust me no cat
wants to be surrounded by an
aroma thats making them feel
anxious and stressedSo what
can you do to avoid upsetting
your kitty Here are a few
simple tips1 Avoid using
citrusscented products in your
home especially if you have
cats Instead opt for more
neutral or calming scents like
lavender or vanilla2 Be
mindful of the products you
use when cleaning If you must
use something with a strong
scent make sure to ventilate
the area thoroughly and give
your cat some space3 Provide a
safe haven for your cat Create
a cozy little spot where they
can retreat from the citrus
chaos and feel comfortableBy
following these simple tips
you can help keep your feline
friend happy and stressfree
even if that means avoiding
those pesky citrus scents
After all who needs a
superfluous amount of citrus
when you can have a peaceful
and serene cat

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
