First we have to say that this is normal reaction and this kitty is not in pain or being abused. The olive smell causes extreme euphoria in kitties, same as catnip.
We have to say that this is not a new strange phenomena, many cats go crazy for olives. There are a lot of videos with many cats with same reaction. Maybe this reaction is not very familiar, but you can Google it.
Simply the cats are fascinating by the smell of olives. You can try this on your cat. You have to see this hilarious video. Her reaction after smelling it is so funny.
In some types of green olives, like Kalamatas, and in pimentos, there are high levels of some compounds that actually resemble pheromones… These olives have components in their essential oils that cause a reaction very similar to catnip.
Luckily for these cat, olives are non-toxic for them, but they don’t have much nutritional value.
