Anyone that's ever owned a cat, or known someone that owns a cat, is well aware of this. Come on Scientific American, slow news day?
Related, I've been sprayed by two different white Bengals. Yeah. Yeah, that stuff lingers... not as bad as skunk but... yeah. Why would you take tigers to a state fair. Why?! To be fair there were signs posted that said something about them not liking umbrellas and signs warning that you were very much standing in 'the spray zone'. I should have taken that more seriously. That first one sprayed me which immediately got the other one interested in spraying me while I was still in disgusted shock.
Pro-tip, large cats do NOT like shutter noises and/or light shining off of lenses.
