Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Flehmen Grimace

The Flehmen Grimace refers to the face your cat makes when it stares into the distance, with its nose wrinkled and mouth slightly open. It's the feline equivalent of a loading sign and indicates that your cat is processing a strange scent.

This rather peculiar grimace allows the scent to pass through the cat's sensitive sensory structure located on the roof of its mouth. With that expression, no scent is too complex for your curious little companion.
