    No, rats don't have that much sense of smell, and humans don't have much cat smell, unless they are very close to cats.

    That's a good question, I'll come to you and answer your questions.

    First of all, many people will say that cats are natural enemies of mice, which is the result of natural evolution. However, a team of biologists has done a scientific study on this issue, and it has been found that this is because there is a gene in the mouse that makes the mouse particularly afraid of cats.

    The research team believes that the mouse has a particularly sensitive sense of smell, and it has more than 1,000 olfactory receptor genes, which is almost three times that of human olfactory-related genes.

    Therefore, once the rat smells the cat, it will not dare to come out or hide.

    To sum up, the rat's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it can smell the smell of cats.

    Absolutely.

    But it is unlikely that you can hide from cats by smell.

    Because cats will mark everything in their living area with their own scent. That is, rats can smell cats all the time, regardless of whether the cat is nearby or not.

    So when the cat is really close, the mouse can't tell the difference.

    The smell of cats is a natural deterrent for mice, and rats will be sensitive to this smell and actively stay away from predators. However, researchers have found that when rats are infected with parasites, the parasites not only suppress the rats' fear of cat odors, but even make the rats move closer to the cats, thus greatly increasing the chance of the rats being killed by the cats. Therefore, the researchers reasoned that:

    Parasites can cause rats to lose their fear of cats.

    Cats are natural hunters, and almost after they are born, with a little guidance, they will awaken the hunting skills that flow in their blood. Not only rats, but all small animals are within their range, such as birds, bugs, snakes, etc. However, rats are easier to see in the lives of people and cats, so rats are the easiest prey for cats to find and the most hunted objects for cats.

    I think this animal's sense of smell is also very sensitive, at least it should be able to have its own judgment, it should be able to smell, otherwise, how can he hide from the cat, so I think it can still smell.

    Tigers can certainly smell cats, and their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of humans, because their eyes are largely degenerate.

    There is a smell of cats in the house, and mice generally do not come.

    Rats can smell cats, and the smell of natural enemies is very sensitive to any animal. And rats usually make scratching and running sounds when they are active. The rat's biggest fear is its big movements and noises, and if the rat moves like that, the cat will chase it and won't let it go unless it is caught and eaten.

    In fact, rats do not settle in a house, and their usual range is the entire building. So even if there is a kitten in the house, or just a little bit of a cat, the rat will choose other safe areas. So what we have to do is buy a cat and come back, then the rats in the house will run away.

    Generally speaking, there is a cat smell in the house, and rats will not come.

    Because the smell of predators is the biggest deterrent to rats. Catching mice is an innate skill of cats, so mice are especially afraid of cats, and they dare not approach even if they just smell them. Even if it is a pet cat, the ability to catch mice may be weakened or even lost, but it can also scare away mice, most mice will choose to flee after seeing cats, because this is the nature of mice, cats may not catch mice, but for mice, there is still a certain deterrent effect.

Under normal circumstances, there was no single-handedness in ancient wars, but there were very few phenomena. For example, in the Three Kingdoms period, there were indeed heads-up situations, such as Lu Bu singled out Guo Yan, Tai Shici also singled out Sun Ce, these are actually based on the content recorded in historical dramas.
