How do cats use their sense of smell and what types of scents are they most sensitive to?
1 Answer
Cats have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell, which they use to identify food, potential mates, and other cats. They are particularly sensitive to pheromones, which are chemical signals released by other cats, and can also detect a wide range of odors that humans cannot. Cats are also able to detect subtle changes in the environment, such as the presence of a predator or the arrival of a new pet.
