Cats can taste smells through their mucus!
Cats have a highly developed sense of smell, and their mucus plays a crucial role in this. Their nasal passages are lined with specialized cells that can detect even the faintest of odors. When a cat inhales, the scent molecules become trapped in the mucus, where they are then analyzed by these specialized cells. This allows cats to identify food, potential mates, predators, and other animals, as well as to navigate their environment based on scent cues. Their ability to taste smells through their mucus is just one of the many ways that cats use their senses to survive and thrive in the wild.
