www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-09-02-feline-sense-of-smellStory at-a-glance A recently published study sheds new light on the remarkable feline sense of smell The study title lays it out: "Domestic cat nose functions as a highly efficient coiled parallel gas chromatograph" Interestingly, it seems the size and shape of the feline head may have resulted in the evolution of an intricate airway structure that not only fits inside that small space, but also helps cats adapt to a variety of environments The researchers suggest that convoluted turbinate structures in the domestic cat nose may significantly increase odor delivery speed and chromatography efficiency at a rate > 100 times that of the straight nasal channels of amphibians My notes: You wouldn't think cats could smell as good as dogs. Interesting research.

I didn't know they had a good sense of smell. Like dogs.
