As mentioned above, cats have a strong sense of smell. Both males and female felines are territorial animals. They use their nose to alert them of other cats, dogs, or anything usual in their environment. When a cat senses something unusual like another cat, their face will take on a weird contortion. One that causes them to sneer or pull back on its upper lick. When a cat does this, they are using their mouth, not nose to suck in air and using their secondary sense of smell.
It is their primary way to identify people and objects. Their sense of smell is one of the best hunting tools a cat has. They have the ability to detect danger long before the danger is near. Their sense of smell can make them look like they have superpowers. Like other animals, cats have regular olfactory scent receptors that allow them to detect aromas in the air.
Felines use their nose to communicate with the world. This behavior is the way that cats greet and get to know each other. You may have noticed your cat likes to touch her nose to your nose aka nose poke. The nose poke is a sign that your feline friend trusts you. Some experts say that this behavior releases scent glands when rubbed and the nose poke is considered a gentle rub or touch. Just like you and I shake hands or hug someone we know, cats use their nose to greet others.
Cats have four legs and paws, but no arms and hands. I have a small daypack that I use to carry my work folders home with me. Why does he sleep on my pack? One of mine seeks out the lumpiest, most uneven surface he can find to sleep on.
He looks horribly uncomfortable, but he prefers it. He also likes newspaper and paper grocery bags. Anything but the bare floor or, you know, his cat bed. I have a canvas briefcase that is a total cat magnet. Also if I try to work on needlepoint or a hooked rug, both of which involve stiff, scratchy canvas, he will rub his face on it, scritch on it, try to eat it, and after he does all that, sleep on it.
Talk about sleeping on coathangers. I sometimes wonder if it is also a symbol that you are home and available to do their bidding. She just likes his backpack. I think this is it. Although Kalista still spends a reasonable amount of time sleeping on the couch and her cat tree , it seems her favourite spot has rotated once again and has become my backpack.
Honestly, Kalista changing her favourite spot to sleep is not surprising. Especially given the fact that my cats have rotated through a few sleeping places over the past years. Have you ever dropped a piece of paper on the floor, and as you turn to pick it up, your cat is already lying on it? Similarly, have you ever placed a blanket down in another room, and by the time you come back to deal with it, your cat is already snoozing away on it?
Although it may take some getting used to, or it may take your cat a little bit of time before they trust new objects, chances are they are going to warm up to it quickly.
Now, as you could guess, cats who easily find new spots to sleep or gain an obsession with new objects will go back to their old favourite spaces over time. That is why you will commonly see our cats sleep around the apartment in all sorts of nooks and crannies.
If you want a recommendation for a new sleeping spot for your cat, I highly recommend checking out our favourite cat beds and caves here. Cats are territorial creatures that need to mark every place with scent that they consider safe or consider their property.
Although scents linger, they are not permanent, and your cat has a neverending quest to make sure that no matter what, everything smells like them. Scents can include things like other people, grass, dirt, foods, other animals, and the list goes on and on and on.
Often when cats are trying to hide the scents on a backpack, they will knead it before sleeping on it. Again, this is why your cat may scent you or may rub themselves against you, so a part of their scent gets onto you and vice versa. Backpacks can get pretty stinky, especially if they are on a hot summer day, or you were sweating a lot. In cases like this, cats will often quickly fall asleep on the bag or roll on the bag; however, most commonly do not mask the scent of their owner.
Cats may also refuse to sleep on the front of the backpack and instead may ask for you to flip the bag over so they can get a better whiff of you.
Well, dependant on when you last showered, put on deodorant, etc. So remember how cats are on a neverending quest to make everything smell like them?
