Cats absolutely hate water and you probably know it. Besides, these creatures don't have to be bathed like dogs as they have their own technique on grooming themselves.

According to Today I Found Out, the whiskers of the cats are an essential sensory mechanism. Hence, it is not advisable to clip it because once you damage their whiskers, cats will become confused and disoriented.

Most owners like to bring their cats on a joy ride. However, what they don't know is that cats don't like such experience because they normally get stressed in uncomfortable situations.

Tickle their belly. 

Cats normally don't find a good belly rub comforting. Why? Well, they are very protective of their vulnerable area where their vital organs are located. Hence, their typical response when someone touches their belly is they spring into defensive position, as per pam. 

Giving cats spoiled food. 

Cats have a very sensitive nose. So, offering them old or dried out food is not a good idea. Give your cat fresh and healthy food instead.

Loud Noises. Aside from their noses, cats have sensitive ears as well. Thus, they don't like loud noises. So, if you don't want to cause any discomfort to your pet, put him in a room where he can be away from loud noises.

Dirty boxes. Cats are very clean by nature. Hence, leaving their boxes dirty are offensive for them. So, if you want to keep your cat in a good mood, make sure to always clean his tray.

Ignoring them

Cats are attention seekers. So, when your feline friend is starting to drape himself over your feet, better give him your attention right away, if you don't want your cat to do naughty things just to grab your attention.

Cats are unique creatures indeed. Likewise, cats are very great animals to pet.
