Cats don’t like the smell of oranges because the pungent smell produced by oranges makes cats uncomfortable. Cats’ sense of smell is more sensitive than humans, and they are even more sensitive to pungent smells.

Cats’ sense of smell is much more sensitive than humans, so they are also very disgusted by some pungent smells, such as mint, ginger, orange, vinegar, toothpaste, medicinal oil, etc.

If some cats accidentally smell the smell of oranges, they will immediately fall back like an electric shock, wrinkle their noses and curl their lips with an expression of disgust, and even retching.

Some cats also express the same disgust at the smell of medicated oil that has just been applied to their owners.
