Why do cats like the smell of Clorox?

No they do not. All chemicals smell much more harsh and stronger to them, and it is not good for them to be around the strong smells. It can hurt their noses too. If they would ever consume a chemical like this, you'd need to take them to a vet immediately. My cat will eat anything it can get its paws on, and it once took in some bleach one time, and he almost died. Also anything like chocolate, butter, salt, or grapes and raisins are toxic as well.Another AnswerThe above answer isn't entirely correct. In fact, most cats are attracted to the smell of ammonia. Ammonia is often present in bleach and other household cleaners - along with a fatal concoction of other strong chemicals. This is because ammonia is present in a cat's urine, which cats use to mark out territory. Other cats can get a wealth of information about another just by smelling another cat's urine.Because of this, it is vital to keep bleach and other chemicals in a secure place where cats cannot reach, as even a tiny amount of bleach ingested can easily kill a cat.

How do you keep cats away from nests?

It is almost impossible to just keep them away from nests, unless you have full attention on them when they go outside, or keep the cat inside at all times. There are "cat deterrents" that can help discourage cats from entering a certain area, but most are not 100% cat proof. These deterrents include using predator urine (be careful not to use urine from a predator known to frequent your area as it might be an attractant to that predator), mulch with strong odors that can't don't like (like citrus, cocoa), or ultrasonic devices. Best choice is to keep the cat confined to a yard or area with cat-proof fencing.

No. The Clorox solution is now diluted by about 97%, maybe more. If you use it in the washer, it will be even more diluted by the water in the washer. It just will not work the way you want it to. next time you run into this problem, take the capful and throw it away.
