if you're a cat lover then you know the cats are over sensitive creatures but not exactly in the way you may think sometimes their behavior is just misunderstood in this video we'll discuss the top 12 things cats hate but you should avoid number 1 high-pitched sounds while cats hear low-pitched noises about just as well as we do they can pick up high-pitched sounds much better than humans their range goes even beyond that of dogs high-pitched noises - cats come in ways you would not expect ambulance sirens loud music hairdryers 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 number 2 low temperatures cats like temperatures of 20 degrees higher than humans 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 number 3 water 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 the lack of water in their breeding makes them intolerant of getting wet 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 fresh water for your feline everyday in a clean dish if they don't drink enough water your cat can get a urinary tract infection number 4 surprises 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 them 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 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 number five stale food 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 that dogs do if your cat is picking up their food they are telling you that they don't like it because it may be stale or they don't like the flavor number 6 dirty litter box cats are extremely clean animals and they devote a large portion of their day for self grooming they hate a dirty litter box grimy toys or an unclean water bowl cleaning your cat's litter box every day will make for a happy cat that loves to use the bathroom in the right place number seven certain smells 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 before hand cats also can't tolerate the smell of onion or vinegar but there's more menthol wintergreen and mint are also scents that cats can't handle but before we give you a break there are more cents a cat will hide away from that's lavender citrus Roo rosemary and cinnamon number eight strangers cats do not like strangers or surprise visits they like to feel they're in control of the territory around them strangers bring a lot of new smells and signs that they have yet to explore cats usually hide what an unknown person or animal visits them however if they have been socialized since they were little they usually don't mind strangers as much animal experts suggest that your cats need to approach your friends not the other way around number nine lack of routine routines are very important because cats are very sensitive to change cats like to be in control of their environment and a small change can unbalance them entirely so if you need to make changes to your house or move to another place make sure you prepare your pet in advance number 10 riding in a car cats do not like getting in a car because it breaks up their daily routine of being at home unlike dogs who love a good car ride cats are the opposite they get very stressed out when confronted with situations that are uncomfortable so if you have to take your cat to the vet get them a comfortable towel they have snuggled in and then put them in a carrier preferably one they've slept in overnight this will make them feel like they're still in their own space number 11 balloons it's true cats see balloons as a threat they can't defeat to them a balloon of any kind looks like an intruder that may hurt you or them keep in mind if a cat finds a mouse or a large insect they have a chance of defeating it with a balloon they just get scared because they can't overcome it number 12 posing for photos if you're a cat lover you may have seen some cute photos with a cat in a selfie but let's think about real life for a moment your cat does not want to be posed they don't want to be put in a costume for a photo final thoughts make sure your favorite cat has an oasis in the desert one where they can have a cool drink of clean water and also a peaceful bed where they can relax and call their own this makes you an affectionate owner of a cat who will purr and rub against you and your friends with passion and affection [Music] you
