Why do cat like the smell of hibiscus?

Cats are often attracted to certain plants due to their scent, which can mimic pheromones or other chemicals that stimulate their senses. Hibiscus contains compounds that may appeal to cats, similar to how they are drawn to catnip. Additionally, the bright colors and texture of hibiscus flowers may intrigue them, encouraging exploration and interaction. However, while hibiscus is not toxic to cats, it's always best to monitor any plant interactions to ensure their safety.
