I wonder how much the cats reported on in this thread are interested in smelling human worn objects for the out-of-house smells the objects might pick up versus the smell of their human companions on those objects. We don't do this much as humans compared to other animals but smelling can be used to identify an individual, and smelling the smell of an known individual who's a positive relation can be pleasing
