Sniffing

Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store your scent in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats. Because cats are territorial, they will try to leave their signature scent to claim a person or a space. Many cats are not fond of strong smells and will try to avoid them as much as possible, this is why if there’s a recent change in your surroundings, your cat’s behavior will change as well.
