Freshly hanging clothes, coffee bubbling in the coffee maker, a plate of baked pasta... these are smells that put a smile on our faces for many of us and make us feel good, even for a few minutes. Well, the same thing happens to cats but with other types of fragrances. Do you want to know what they are?

Plants

There are many plants whose smell inevitably attracts a large number of domestic cats, but the one that is in first position is, without a doubt, Nepeta Cataria, catnip or catnip, so that we let's understand This plant, which belongs to the same family as mint, has surprising effects on kittens: they smell it, rub with it, nibble on it... To tell you that under its effects some people even hunt imaginary mice or jump for no apparent reason... But do not be alarmed, like everything, in its fair measure it is not dangerous. In fact, there are many toys on the market that include it, as well as pots to keep at home.

Another plant with narcotic effects on cats is valerian but, unlike humans, which calms us down, it activates them at first. Important, do not give your furry a capsule or an infusion of valerian on your own. Check with the vet beforehand.

The olive tree also has its fan club in the cat kingdom and there are even kittens that not only like to sniff, rub or lick its leaves, but the olives themselves and even their oil literally drive them crazy.

In the flower section, there are some species that are attractive to the feline nose, such as the daisy, the rose or the lily, but, beware, many of them are toxic to the animal. Please, before having flowers at home, make sure that they are safe for the furry.

Fruits

Since cats are rigorously carnivorous animals, it is curious to see how some are attracted to fruity aromas such as strawberry, watermelon and peach.

But this is not all, here we will tell you what other fragrances are for cats comparable to an expensive and exclusive perfume or more humble smells like the one that a cup of good coffee gives off.
