Expert Answer

Cats mainly find their way by smell and hearing. Their sense of smell is very keen, and they use the folds inside the nose and a large number of olfactory cells to recognize and remember different scents. At the same time, their hearing is well developed and helps them judge direction and surroundings by sound.

In addition, a cat’s vision and touch also take part in navigation. When there’s enough light, cats may also find their way by observing the features of the surrounding environment and objects.
