We use scent as one way to enrich our cat's life. Whenever we come back from, say, a walk, we let the cat sniff our hands (particularly interesting when we meet other cats on the walk!) When we are putting away a food shop he posts up on his stool and gets to sniff everything before it goes away. He is only really interested in protein smells and other critter smells, but the whole business must be engaging enough that he keeps coming back to sniff the tomatoes etc. as well.
- mrguyorama 1y agoWhenever I make food or drink, my cat insists on getting a whiff. She continues to insist this, even though she's no fan of my coffee. She also insists on sniffing my alcoholic beverages, which is funny because cats hate both ethanol and citric acid so she has quite the negative reaction. But she will be back the next time I mix it up. At one point she would sniff our backpack straps, with over a decade of accumulated sweat and human residue and go absolutely mental, rolling around in them like it was catnip. She's also just an extremely attentive cat so it might all just be a game to her.
