    Cats have a very keen sense of smell and can detect many odors that humans cannot detect. Cats may notice the smell of peony, but their reaction to peony may vary from individual to individual.


    Peony belongs to the Liliaceae family and has a special aromatic smell. Some cats may be interested in the smell of peony, while others may be indifferent to it. Every cat has their own likes and preferences, so their reaction to peony may vary from individual to individual.


    However, it is important to note that while peonies are generally non-toxic to humans and most animals, certain varieties of peonies may be toxic to cats. If you have peony plants and are concerned that your cat may come into contact with them, it is best to place the peonies out of your cat's reach to ensure safety.


    If you notice that your cat is showing an unusual interest in peonies or other plants, it’s best to consult your veterinarian for professional advice to ensure your cat’s safety and health.
