As an elegant, mysterious and neurotic animal, cats always have some behaviors and preferences that people can't understand. One of them is their extreme sensitivity to certain smells. But some smells are harmful to cats or easy to cause discomfort to cats. Today we will talk about the smell that cats can't smell.
1, cigarette essence
The smell of tobacco is very harmful to cats, because cats' lungs are much smaller than human's. Tobacco smoke will seriously affect the health of cats, making them difficult to breathe, and causing discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and drooling.
In addition, the smell of tobacco will remain in cats' fur, affecting their sense of taste and smell, making them feel uncomfortable and even lose their appetite, leading to insufficient food intake and physical problems.
2, ammonia smell
Ammonia smell is the smell secreted by cat urine or other animal excrement, and cats are very sensitive to it. When cats use the litter box, if they don't clean the litter regularly, the ammonia smell of these cat urine and excrement will be smelled by cats, which will be very uncomfortable.
Even after cleaning the cat litter, the cat will still smell ammonia. If you are exposed to this smell for a long time, it will lead to tears, stuffy nose, and even vomiting and difficulty breathing.
3. Spicy taste
Spicy taste has a very strong stimulating effect on the taste buds and sense of smell of cats. Cats have well-developed sense of taste and smell, which makes them very sensitive to spicy taste, causing nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Especially human food such as pizza and burrito, spicy spices and seasonings will seriously stimulate the cat's sense of taste and smell, which will lead to vomiting, drooling and other discomfort for a long time and endanger the cat's health.
4, the taste of sleeping pills
The smell of sleeping pills has a strong influence on the respiratory system and cranial nerves of cats. Long-term inhalation of this smell will affect the health and life safety of cats.
Be very careful when using sleeping pills, sedatives and other drugs at home. After spraying these drugs, we should pay attention to indoor ventilation to avoid the smell remaining for too long and endangering the health of cats.
In a word, although we can't completely avoid the above smells, when taking care of cats, we should try our best to reduce the harm caused by these harmful smells and ensure their healthy physical and mental development.
