Hi All!
I was sitting in front of my TV eating Eucalyptus Candies (hard candy - eucalyptus flavoured, for the american's here it kind of tastes like menthol but sweeter)
Well, my kitten Freya came up for petting and cuddles and was interested in what was mommy eating? well, like I do with all my cats, I let her sniff it as I find, if you don't show them what you're eating & they notice you have something yummy... well all hell breaks loose as they clamour to get to it, but if you show them, then if they don't like it (95% of the time they don't) they'll leave you alone)...
Well. She scrunched her nose up, shook her head and jumped back as if a bug had bit her! lol, I nearly died laughing. I had to test this out, well, only one or two of my cats loved the smell, the rest had the same reaction, one even hissed at the candy!
Obviously they don't like the smell of it, I wonder if spraying eucalyptus would work to keep cats away from things they shouldn't be getting into? lol, the reaction was just so cute.
