Unpleasant odors that can drive cats away are very rare. In this case, this will create a problem for those who are looking for a specific substance that these animals dislike.
Butter
Most cats feel uncomfortable with the oil obtained from the leaves of an aromatic bush called rue. If you put the branches of this shrub near an object, not a single cat will even come close to it.
The properties of rue have been known to herbalists since ancient times. And, by the way, one of these specialists recommended: “Put a large amount of medicinal and aromatic herbs under the sod layer, to which you must certainly mix the rue and scatter it in different places, which not only can be useful, but also beautiful, the rue is beautiful and green and its bitterness will drive poisonous animals and annoying cats away from your garden.
Gardeners now say that the leaves of this plant can cause skin rashes, even in humans. Therefore, the root must be handled carefully. However, the oil of its leaves has a healing miracle cure. For some unknown reason, folk wisdom has been forgotten for a long time, and, quite possibly, it will be useful only in those cases when no other means will help.
Onions and citrus fruits
There is another thing cats don't like, and that is the bow. To do this, you can simply grate a raw onion over the area you would like to protect. This will help you once and for all get rid of the encroachments of the cat, and the scent that will be released at first will disappear imperceptibly. In fact, cats will continue to smell this smell, while you will already forget that you once used this remedy.
Many cats dislike the smell of citrus fruits such as oranges or tangerines. True, this action will have one drawback. Citrus fruit peels that give off an unpleasant odor to the cat dry out quickly. Therefore, you will have to change them until your pet finally gets used to the fact that he cannot be in a certain place.
Vinegar
Easily available substances found in every home can also become a disliked smell for cats, such as vinegar. Cats don't like him very much. Its sour smell irritates their delicate nasal passages, so they go around for a long time the place where a drop of it has fallen at least once.
It is worth adding that cats are very stubborn animals. And they often perceive the beginning of such a "chemical attack" as a challenge to their pride. For a start, they can change the place of their activity. And if this does not bring the desired result, then they will overpower their disgust for this substance. In this case, you just have to change tactics.
