While humans observe the world with their eyes, cats do so through their sense of smell. They have about ninety-nine million nerve endings in the mucous membrane of their nose, while humans have only five hundred. When eating, they like to sniff around, which is a security check of the food. Food that you like will be eaten without hesitation with a big mouthful, and food that you don’t like will walk away with a look of disgust, or even run away, don’t try to prank your kitty, because they will hold a grudge, and they may not pay attention to you for a few days.

Wow, this is super interesting! I totally agree that cats have a strong sense of smell. I’ve noticed that my cat will sniff her food thoroughly before deciding if it’s worth eating. It makes sense considering their heightened sense of smell. One time, I tried to give her a new brand of cat food, and she just looked at it, sniffed, and walked away as if I had offended her! Cats are definitely creatures of habit, and they do seem to hold grudges if something displeases them. It’s important to remember this and respect their preferences to keep them happy.
