I tend to think differently than most people but it seems obvious to me. As humans we have technology to itneract with and enrich our lives, but animals are unwilling/unable to create enrichment for themselves. Its led me to think about what they consider fun and the nature of fun, and it would seem to me that they would make the most of their senses. Considering their sense of smell is so strong, ive always equated them sniffing things to us taking a nice stare at an inpressive bit of scenery, or tasting the finer details of an intricately crafted meal. Thats why i try to bring home things that will have an interesting scent, to my animals it would be the same as bringing them a tasty treat.
