There are more than 200 million particularly sensitive olfactory cells on these folds, which are very sensitive to smells. In addition, a cat's nose has a nose mirror. Sweat and sebum can make the nose moist, so odor molecules are easy to adhere to, making the cat's sense of smell more acute, allowing the cat to smell one of tens of thousands of smells. When at close range, cats will use smell instead of vision.
