Many cat owners are confident that the health of their pet can be checked by its nose.
There is a common opinion among owners of furry creatures: if the nose of a purring cat is cool and wet, then everything is fine, but if this part of the muzzle turns out to be dry and hot, then it is worth sounding the alarm.
But it's not that simple. In fact, a cool nose does not always indicate that your furry four-legged friend is feeling well.
But a hot nose cannot be a 100% indicator that your pet is sick.
Therefore, you shouldn’t rely on this part of the cat’s muzzle as a “thermometer”.
You need to focus on whether the cat has an appetite, how often it sleeps, etc. And you can’t forget about the importance of timely visits to the veterinarian.
But let's get back to the cat's nose. It turns out that it shouldn't be touched for another reason.
Why you shouldn't touch a cat's nose.
This part of the cat's face is very sensitive.
Therefore, a furry creature whose nose is touched with a finger will feel very uncomfortable.
And the pet will also smell odors that are not perceived by people as too strong, but such aromas irritate and even frighten fluffy animals (perfume, hand cream, etc.).
Therefore, do not touch the cat's nose anymore. Especially since there is no particular practical sense in this procedure.
