Why Cats Sniff You
Cats are curious creatures and love to get a whiff of those around them. If your cat suddenly gets up close, it is because they want to get a sniff of your unique scent. This could be because they are looking for a comforting, familiar scent.

Your face is an easy place for cats to get a whiff and reminds them that you are there and not a stranger. Breathing in your scent therefore helps cats relax and feel at ease with you.
