Responses of five domestic cats to fragrances attractive to Panthera (jaguar, leopard, snow leopard, lion, and tiger) and Acinonyx jubatus (cheetah). A Response duration plotted as time per hour the fragrances were available to the cats, with the response time of two responses by cat A to Drakkar Noir shown within the bar. Obsession for Men was available for 75 h (5 days), Drakkar Noir 45 h (3 days), L’Air Du Temps and Paco Rabanne 30 h (2 days), and the other fragrances for 15 h (1 day). B Analysis of the observed behavior of cat A in response to Drakkar Noir. The average of the two responses is shown. Body position, head rubbing, and licking are shown as the percentage of the response duration, while head shaking and twitching of the back are shown as events per minute of response and are plotted on the right Y axis
