Many times, people praise cats for their night vision and jumping ability. Compared with dogs, cats’ noses do not seem that powerful, but cats’ noses also play many important functions.

Cats’ noses are very sensitive. When at close range, cats will use their sense of smell instead of vision. It is said that cats’ sense of smell is about ten times that of humans.

Cats can get a lot of information through smell. The way two cats greet each other is also through the sense of smell, so we will see cats nose to nose and whiskers touching whiskers.

Since cats’ sense of taste is not that developed, their nose plays a very important role in their diet. This is why cats like fish with a strong fishy smell.

A cat’s nose can also help cats navigate themselves and identify different creatures and threatening smells. The functions are very diverse, and they are all very important.
