Scientists from Ohio State University have created an accurate 3D model of a cat's olfactory structures, writes the Daily Mail.
What is the sense of smell in cats
Cats' sense of smell is also very well developed, approximately 14 times better than that of humans.
And the surface of the olfactory epithelium in a cat is less than 2 times smaller than in a dog.
Just like dogs, cats tend to sniff, making certain grimaces.
At what distance does a cat smell its owner
Yes, the difference is significant with a dog, but still a cat can smell the smell it needs, for example, from an open window at a distance of 20-30 meters.
Due to the fact that cats have a good memory, they can remember smells and distinguish them well, including the smells of their owners.
What smells do cats hate
Among the smells that repel cats are spices and herbs.
Which ones are especially unpleasant for them? These are primarily cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, ginger, as well as mustard and black pepper.
Finely ground spices can be poured into fabric bags and hung where you want to scare away the cat.
