What does a cat rely on to identify its owner? Cats identify their owners through their sense of smell and sound, and they remember their owner’s scent and voice, and remember their behavior patterns.

Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell. They are more sensitive to odor and can be prepared for judgment. When the owner is petting the cat, such as the cat's chin and back, the cat will rub its mouth and head back, which is completing the process of "exchanging scents". Therefore, when a stranger or a cat litter box with a completely new atmosphere approaches the cat, they will be very alert.

Secondly, cats can identify their owners through hearing, such as the sound of their owners’ footsteps, the sound of their speaking, etc.; again, cats can identify their owners through vision. Although they cannot distinguish too many colors, they can judge by observing their owner’s appearance.
