List of scents cats love and dislike

 Here’s a clear list of scents cats usually love and scents they usually dislike:

Scents Cats Love

  1. Catnip – stimulates playful, euphoric behavior in many cats.

  2. Silvervine & Valerian Root – similar effect to catnip, often stronger for cats that don’t react to catnip.

  3. Chamomile – mild, calming effect.

  4. Lavender – in small amounts, some cats enjoy it (but not all; moderation is key).

  5. Minty herbs – like cat-safe mints or oregano (small exposure).

  6. Certain foods – fish, chicken, or meat smells naturally attract cats.

  7. Human scent – cats often love the smell of their favorite person’s clothes or hands.

Scents Cats Dislike

  1. Citrus (orange, lemon, lime) – strong deterrent; most cats avoid it.

  2. Eucalyptus – overpowering and sometimes irritating.

  3. Menthol or strong mint – some cats dislike it (though mild mint can be attractive).

  4. Vinegar – pungent and repelling.

  5. Alcohol or strong chemicals – generally unpleasant and unsafe.

  6. Spicy or pungent herbs – like chili or mustard seeds.

💡 Tip: If you want to attract your cat to a toy or scratcher, sprinkle a tiny bit of catnip or silvervine. To keep them away from areas, use citrus peels or vinegar safely.
