I let my cats smell every meal before I eat it. Regardless if they like the smells or not, they're always interested in what I'm doing and what I have.

Mine do that as well, and the dog picked it up too lol. She is a bit more enthusiastic about it though. 😅

Same here. They have a way of saying, "Hey, I want to smell that!" and it's adorable.

If yours are anything like my tortoiseshell, it's a loud and clear message. They will run over and give a distinct meow, but they're very communicative in general.

Aww, that's so cute. Mine will sit, look up, and gently pretend to smell the air. If they're very interested, they'll lift their front paws and rest one one my leg. It gets me every time.
