Ever wonder why your cat opens his or her mouth when they smell stuff? Thank me later Not only do cats have a far better sense of smell than human beings but they also have a special organ designed to detect pheromones. This organ is the vomeronasal organ and it is located at the base of the nasal cavity. Its nerves carry messages on a separate route to the brain than that of the normal sense of smell. Cats regularly use this organ.
