    I see it as enrichment, like when they give bears at the zoo something to smell to entertain them. Makes my cat happy at least just to smell stuff

      Agreed; I always let my cat smell things that I’m holding/working on because they clearly are interested in what their human is doing. That way he can get a better idea of what’s going on and feel like he’s helping.

      It goes both ways too:
