Why do cats like to smell things? Cats are born with a sensitive sense of smell, and their noses can smell scents that humans cannot detect. Cats like to smell things because they sniff their surroundings through their noses, get information and learn about the world around them. In addition, cats' sense of smell is closely related to their social behavior. Cats like to smell other cats or humans, which helps them identify or confirm their relationships. Cats can also get information about food, water, potential dangers and prey by smelling things. Therefore, smelling things is a natural instinctive behavior of cats and a way for them to communicate and communicate with the outside world.
The owner had to smell the shoes when he first came home. Sometimes his feet were often brought over by the cat owner to smell them. In addition to smelling these, the cat owner was smelling them all day long. As long as it was interested, he had to put his nose over and smell them.
The reason is that cats have developed olfactory organs. The cat's nose is very sensitive, just like the cat's ears and eyes, and has super strong abilities. The cat's sense of smell has the ability to distinguish, track odor, and use the sense of smell to communicate, socialize, and identify each other.
There are about 67 million olfactory cells in the nose of cats, many times higher than the 5-20 million olfactory cells in humans. This also directly leads to cats being able to distinguish the smell of many things and treat smell as a way of communication and socializing.
Cats identify each other through their sense of smell. Cats are actually face-blind, and they can only know who you are by smell. Many cats will urinate during estrus to identify the territory, and other cats will know that "there is a master here" when they smell this. In addition, cats also mark the turf through the scent glands on their paws and leave their own odor. Cats can smell these scents through their noses, which has become an important way for cats to communicate.
Therefore, many interesting phenomena occur in our lives. Whenever the shoveler comes back from outside, he may be from humans or other animals because he brings back a lot of brand new and strange smells. According to the cat's natural curiosity, it has to come over and smell it carefully to see what's going on outside, and is there a new cat?
