The fact that cats hate the smell of citrus is well known. However, this doesn't apply to all cats, and some seem to be fascinated by the sharp smell. The strong, sharp smell citrus fruits give off may be the cause of a cat sniffing it at length; the cat sniffs the fruit carefully so not to hurt its nose.
