What trivia do you know about cat noses?

Cat's nose:

Cats belong to the carnivore family, the subfeline family. Its sense of smell is 14 times higher than that of humans, and it is the most commonly used and important sensory system in cats.

Cats are basically in a world dominated by the sense of smell, and there are two main olfactory detectors, called nasal erectors, which are particularly sensitive to nitrogen compounds, can distinguish the smell of nitrogen very quickly, and can avoid eating spoiled food.

The tip of the nose should be dry when the cat sleeps, and moist when playing with normal activities.

Catnip, which is commonly used to make cats addicted, is very similar to the smell emitted by the urine of female cats, so it can attract cats. At the same time, there are also many cat grasses that cats can't put down.

The cat's nose is very moist, the cat's nose is black, pink, and white, and the cat's nose can reflect whether the cat's body is sick.

I heard that the wetter the cat's nose, the better the cat's physical condition, because healthy cats will especially like to use their tongues to lick their noses.

Each cat has its own nose pattern, which is equivalent to a human fingerprint.

Cats have very sensitive noses, they will smell before eating, and if they think the food smells bad, they will think that the food is not tasty.

The cat's nose is particularly powerful, and it can quickly smell a particularly fragrant smell. Then the food is brought in so that it can be fed, so its nose is a living treasure.

The cat's nose print is also unique and can be used to unlock, and the cat's nose can be used as a thermometer to feel the temperature through the inhaled air.

The first is that the sensitivity of smell is no worse than that of dogs, and the second is that their noses are born with GPS, and they are able to get lost and go home by themselves because of their sense of smell.

Many people think that cats' sense of smell is not as good as dogs, but in fact, it is wrong, since ancient times there is a saying that "dogs know 800 miles, cats know 800 miles". Cats don't like to eat when they have a cold because they can't smell because of nasal congestion.

A cat's nose has the following characteristics: 1. Each cat's nose has a unique pattern of protrusions and bulges, just like human fingerprints; Second, the color of the cat's nose is related to the color of its fur, for example: black cats have black noses, white coats have pink noses, etc.; Third, the cat's nose can also be used to judge its health and body temperature, and the nose of a healthy cat is wet.

1. The shape of the kitten's nose

Kittens have different nose shapes, and different breeds of cats have different nose shapes. For example, the Persian cat has a flatter nose, while the Birman cat has a relatively more three-dimensional nose. In general, cats usually have a small and delicate nose shape, which is more attractive with a cute little face.

In addition to breed differences, different genders, ages, and health conditions can also affect the shape of a cat's nose. For example, a developing baby Cabe will have a shorter nose than an adult cat, while an older cat may have a drier and rougher nose.

2. The color of the kitten's nose

The nose color of kittens also varies depending on the breed, age, and gender. Most cats' nose color will match the color of their coat. For example, a black cat will usually have a black nose, while a white cat may have a pink or light gray nose.

Of course, there are also some breeds of cats that have a fixed nose color of a certain color, such as the Siamese cat, which usually has a dark blue nose.

3. The function of the kitten's nose

A kitten's nose is not only a cute organ, but also one of the important organs for cats to perceive the world. A cat's nose can smell a variety of scents and recognize its own food, favorite or disliked smells, and so on. In addition, the sense of smell also plays an important role in cat communication.

In addition to the sense of smell, the kitten's nose can also be used for breathing. Cats have a much higher respiratory rate than humans, up to 20-30 breaths per minute. At the same time, cats can also sense air humidity and temperature changes through their noses.

4. Maintenance of the kitten's nose

A kitten's nose is vital to their health, so good hygiene is essential. Regularly wiping the area around the kitten's nose with a towel or cotton ball dipped in warm water will prevent impurities from sticking and will also prevent the nose from drying out.

When the kitten has symptoms such as nose odor, nasal discharge, sneezing, etc., it is necessary to take the kitten to the pet hospital for examination and **. Make sure your cat's nose is healthy, and you can tease them to better protect their health and well-being.
