Cats are adorable animals and if you are as much a lover of felines as I am, you will know that despite their bad reputation, having one of these little beasts in our lives is always a source of joy and countless moments of laughter and fun. However, the truth is that cats are independent and sometimes elusive animals, and this is because there are certain things that cats hate about humans and in our site we discover what they are.
Before writing this funny review about cats, I was analyzing my pets, two beautiful felines that sometimes are the most affectionate animals in the world and on the other hand, are completely self-centered and disinterested beings, but always charming. The fact is that although their behavior is still a mystery, when trying to discover what things could bother them about me, I came to the conclusion that the worst thing for them is our humanity.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but when you read this list of the 5 Things Cats Hate About Humans you'll understand what we mean. If you have or have had a cat in your life, you will surely agree with our selection, but if you are thinking of having a new cat pet, you should know all these details, because they will surely help you.
5. The water is only for drinking
Why do you insist on getting me wet, bathed or splashed? It is very likely that your cat has asked this question at some time, and unless your pet is a Bengal cat, who loves to swim, surely your feline friend belongs to the great group of cats that they hate waterAnd it is that one of the things that cats hate about humans is that strange relationship with water, the one that makes them use water for more things, in addition to drinking and quenching their thirst.

4. The obsession with smells
The topic of odors certainly has to be on our list, because another thing that cats hate about humans is the way we deal with strong odors, perfumes, air fresheners, food… why? what intense smells? is what our pets wonder.
Cats hate strong odors and have a sensitive sense of smell, although not as strong as dogs. Felines use scents to communicate, so being surrounded by powerful human scents can be quite bothersome. Smells like garlic, citrus, or smoke can be a nightmare.
3. Down the volume
If you're one of those people who enjoys playing music or TV at full volume, I hope you don't have a cat around, because one of the things that cats hate about humans is precisely that need to be surrounded by loud noises.
Cats don't like loud noises because their hearing is very powerful. This highly developed sense of hearing helps them keep their surroundings in check, even when it appears that they are asleep. So if you want to keep your pet happy, you better control the screams and music volume.
two. Everything clean… Very clean
Cats are exaggeratedly clean animals and they probably find it annoying that their human friends are not as clean as they are. If you have a cat, you will know how important it is that its play area is clean and even more important that its sandbox is always impeccable.
With this introduction you will know that the second place on our list of things cats hate about humans has to do with cleanliness. Cats hate that you don't clean their litter box because, as it is an action that they cannot perform by themselves, the maintenance of their litter box is directly related to "his human", so if you don't keep it in perfect condition, your cat will know that your unclean human condition is responsible for his discomfort.
1. I love you, but stop hugging me
Humans need to express our feelings with touch, that's why we need caresses, hugs and kisses so much, but be careful… Your cat doesn't like them at all! !
I can't help but laugh a little when I remember how my cat "cobra"s me (withdraws her head to avoid me) every time I want to kiss her, because felines don't need so much contact to to know that we love them or to show us that they love us.
Cats hate being handled a lot by humans, for felines, physical contact is a form of dominance, so only They will let themselves be caressed when they want and not every time you look for them. Anyway, if you can't control yourself, you can always check our article with the most affectionate cat breeds.
Love and hate
As you can see, there are many things that cats hate about humans, but there are also many things that they love about us and having a small feline purring nearby, it is undoubtedly one of the best moments of the day, so even if there are things that they can't stand about us and vice versa, don't forget that cats are incredible pets that will make your life much better.
