There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I think that Tom Brakefield summarize it very well, for all the cats in general:

So, there is no such thing as "bad smell sense" at all, it is just that they use it with other purposes. But definitelly any wild cat has much better sense of smell than any human.
