Secret superpower in your cat's nose...

This evening I popped into a friend’s house  and her cat came rushing towards me.
“He has never done that before,” she said.

Then we realised why. He began pawing the feather in my hand, a small pheasant feather I had picked up on the road.

 From across the room he had smelt bird the moment I entered the room.
Maybe we should not have been so surprised. After all a cat’s sense of smell is the primary way he identifies people and objects.

And their sense of smell is 14 times better than humans.
But their eyesight is poor , something I have always suspected with Leo.
