Why do cats sniff your face when sleeping?

PoC avatarPosted on May 24, 2017 by Michael BroadMarch 9, 2018

People ask why their cats sniff their face when they’re sleeping. The answer must be a common sense one. Cats use their sense of smell far more than we do. They use their sense of smell as much as we … Continue reading →

How Does Your Cat Wake You up?
