Cats have a long history with cheese, dating back to the ancient Egyptian era when they were revered as sacred animals. It's no surprise then that cats still hold a certain je ne sais quoi for the pungent fromage.
Studies have shown that cats possess a unique combination of genes that make them naturally drawn to the smell of aged gouda and the tangy zest of a well-aged cheddar. Some scientists believe it's the pheromones released during cheese production that drive cats wild.
