If you're using it to keep cats away from something, I've heard that
mothballs are great for plants, etc. Mine seem to hate when I put
Eucalyptus and/or Citronella oils (mixed w/ water and sprayed on) on
them for fleas.

Mine is none too fond of limes either. Don't know about oranges & lemons.
I've heard that in general, cats do not care for citrus fruit aromas.

Good thing, too. Pine oil, a major ingredient of pine-scented cleaners, is
very toxic to cats.
I got so concerned about this that shortly before I got my cat I gave away
or threw out all pine cleaners I had. Maybe that's an overreaction, but
after all there are other cleaners (citrus-oil ones, for instance) that
don't seem to be toxic to cats.

They won't come near me for hours if I burn Lavender incense near me.
They also hate Myrrh with a passion - they will turn up their noses
and walk away with an attitude when I burn that!
I noticed someone mentioned citrus scents. I don't know whay cats
dislike it, but if you get some Lemon Extract from the grocery store and put
a little on places where you don't want your cat to go - they will most
definitely leave it alone!

Due to multiple allergies, I use lavendar oils or water exclusively
as a scent. They love it.
Maybe it's 'cause it smells like me, maybe they don't know any better<G>!

My cats hate mint scents - but it seems that some cats love them. Maybe
this is one which you have to try out to find your cats' preferences.

when I used to smoke and she was anywhere near me she would take off as
soon as I lit up a cigarette. I don't think it was the lighter because
even if she wasn't near me when I lit it and came around after I lit it
she still would book! She just hates smoke..so I quit. :)
She smelled a lit candle when she was a kitten and burned her
nose a bit so maybe this is why..who knows..

My mom has a cat that likes cigarettes. I was in her apartment once with
my best friend (who used to smoke) who had a bag with a pack of cigarettes
in it. The cat would not stop attacking it. I finally let him take a
little bite, and he hated it and spit it out. Cats are freaks (but that's
half the fun of them:) ). Oh, and you should put the stopped smoking in
the you know you're a cat lover thread. Judging from friends and my mom
who stopped smoking, that takes a lot, and to do it for your cat is cool (you
should thank your cat for helping you quit a bad habit).

Tom hates the smell of toothpaste. He's always on the bathroom

No, I'm serious. Ammonia is extremely volatile, and it is also a good
repellent of *humans*. The said ketone, on the other hand, is neither
too volatile nor can be smelled by humans.

stuff somewhere you don't want the cats to go (and not just out of
curiosity) please don't try the moth balls or amonia. Both are
dangerous to cats and even if the cat is "repelled" if he touches them
or something he will end up licking it off himself. A good rule of
thumb: if you don't want your cat to EAT it, don't have it within the
cats reach/area. Everything they step in they lick (i.e. eat) off
themselves (yuck!).

They don't like WD40 either! We had trouble with a young cat that
consistently used to pee behind a sofa. None of the cat repellents
that we bought had any effect, and shooing her out whenever we saw
her sneaking behind there didn't seem to deter her either. In
desperation I sprayed the affected area lightly with WD40 and she
never did it again! (It smelled nicer than the alternative too!)

our cats absolutely detest the smell of pina coladas. I had just fixed
one for my fiancee when Oreo (the resident food-taster) trotted into the
kitchen to see what I had concocted. As I turned around to put the rum
back into the cabinet, Oreo jumped up onto the counter to take a whiff.
This was the ONLY time I have ever seen this little fiend run from any
type of consumable. He jumped down and fled under the bed -- presumably
to tell his brother Toejam (the independent recluse) to stay far, far
away from whatever I had whipped up.
Guess we won't have to worry about them becoming alcoholics later in
life!

According to Desmond Morris (in "Cat Watching") it is. Perhaps that's
why Muffin, our orange & white tabby, shares our taste for peppermint
tea. We can't have a cup of peppermint tea around here without putting a
little in a saucer for him to slurp up.

I've known quite a number of cats who are extremely fond of the smell of
marijuana smoke and leaves. Not to mention a certain cat who is
pavlovianly excited at the smell of pot because he always gets catnip at

Does anybody know what this breed is called in the US ?
I read something about Hymalayan on the net that looks close
but if anybody could confirm or even better point me to a Web
