Best Answer

Because it needs to protect itself. Example: A human has a large net and wants to catch the skunk in it. The skunk sees him and sprays him so the human runs away and leaves the skunk alone to eat in peace.

Could skunk smell distress my cat?

Opinion: Of course skunk smell could distress your cat as it is very strong and a cat has good smell which can make it even stronger. If your cat is in distress and acting strangely smell the air for skunk smell. If you smell it, make sure to keep your cat indoors at all times and do not open any windows. If further distress comes spray air freshener around your house. Do not attempt to let your cat out.
