Do u think Cats are more than just pets? You are absolutely
right! Let’s take a look at some facts in regards to the cats’ smell senses
that hopefully will increase awareness of their natural intelligence. Did you know
that cats have a sense of smell 30 times better than humans?
Cats
have inborn sense of smell functioning, and it is fully developed by about
three weeks of age. Cat’s nose considered as its most important organ where
the surrounding of a cat could be presented as a world of odors, smells, and
scents. Their sense of smell drastically impacts all means of their survival
such as:
To Smell Food
Kittens are normally have inborn sense of smell to locate
food. However, with age, cats might have troubles with reduced sense of smell
and refuse food. You always can slightly warm up the food to enhance its ordor.
To Locate a Mate
Both female and male cats release a powerful sexual pheromone
that can be scented in a great distance. Therefore, if you have a female cat, during
a mating period, keep an eye on male cats running around your windows.
To Establish Territorial Lines
Believe it or not, but male cats mark their territory with
urine or with pheromones not only to put some travel territorial boundaries,
but also to establish a status among other male cats.
To Warn against Enemies and Danger
Any type of danger cats perceive through their sense of
smells followed by hissing or whiskers twitching.
We can see surely see that cats are not only great pets but also very intelligent animals. They are are naturally hunters in the wild world, therefore,
their sense of smell is so strong and picky that they can easily sniff a potential food and rarely eat stale meat or
carrion.
