How do we defend ourselves from our beloved cats?
I'll tell you some tips to protect your shoes.
First of all, we must know that cats have a sense of smell 14 times as developed as humans and have twice as many olfactory receptors in the nasal tissue compared to people.
Cats are especially attracted to the shoes of their owners because they are impregnated with their smell. These sweet animals, as a sign of affection, tend to sleep on their shoes especially when their master is not at home, to fill the gap a bit.
To remedy the situation, first of all, I recommend keeping the shoes inside the shoe rack and leaving a t-shirt or socks around so that the cat can become familiar with them and shift his interest from your beloved shoes to these new ones objects.
