In this video, we’ll discuss the top 11 things cats hate that you should avoid<br /><br />#1. High-pitched Sounds<br />While cats hear low-pitched noises about as well as we do, they can pick up high-pitched sounds much better than humans. Their range goes even beyond that of dogs.<br />High-pitched noises to cats can come in ways you would not expect. Ambulance sirens, loud music, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, or even your phone’s ringtone are some of the high-pitched sounds that cats hate. This is another reason that we should never shout at our kitties as this only causes stress and anxiety. <br /><br />#2. Low Temperatures<br />Cats like temperatures of 20 degrees higher than human’s ideal temperature. In fact, a cat’s coat isn’t made to protect them from low temperatures. On the contrary, their coat protects their delicate skin from extreme heat. <br /><br />#3. Water<br />While you may think cats need a bath, they don’t. Unlike dogs, cats bathe themselves. And think of the Great Sphinx of Giza. Many modern domestic cat breeds come from arid countries around the Middle East or Asia. No one really knows, but the theory is that a lack of water in their breeding makes them intolerant of getting wet. <br />However, here is another piece of advice. A cat likes to have fresh water to drink at their own leisure. This means that you have to put out fresh water for your feline every day in a clean dish. If they don’t drink enough water your cat can get a urinary tract infection.<br />#4. Surprises<br />You probably have watched videos of cats getting scared of cucumbers, but what actually happens is that your cat isn’t afraid of the cucumber itself, but it is the fact that the cucumber appeared next to them without they noticing it. Cats tend to be scared of the unknown, as it could represent a danger or predator, and in the case of a cucumber, a snake. <br />Although some may find it funny, surprises cause anxiety and fear in your cat. It’s best to look for other ways to have fun with your pet. <br /><br />#5. Stale Food<br />You may think that dry or wet food lasts for several days, but it doesn’t. Cats will eat fresh food that is newly opened. But they won’t touch it after that. Cats need to eat daily, but not in the same way as dogs do. If your cat is picking at their food, they are telling you they don’t like it because it may be stale. <br />Or they don’t like the flavor. <br /><br />#6. Dirty Litter Box<br />Cats are extremely clean animals and they devote a large portion of their day for self-grooming. <br />They hate dirty litter box, grimy toys, or unclean water bowl. <br />Cleaning your cat’s litter box every day will make for a happy cat that loves to use the bathroom in the right place. <br /><br /><br />#7. Certain Smells<br />One of the smells that cats can’t tolerate is gasoline. This is why if you take your cat to the vet, make sure the tank is filled beforehand. Cats also can’t tolerate the smell of onion or vinegar. <br />But there’s more. Menthol, wintergreen, and mint are also scents cats can’t handle. But before we give you a break, there are more scents a cat wil
