Cats can tell the difference between a familiar face and a stranger's smell with ease, Using their strong sense of smell to identify and communicate, if you please.

In Tokyo, a study was done with great care,
To see if cats can tell the difference there,
Between their owner's smell and a stranger's too,
And how they'd react, with a sniff or two.
The researchers found that cats spent more time,
Sniffing tubes with unknown people's prime,
Compared to their owner's smell so sweet,
Or an empty tube, where nothing to eat.
They rubbed the swabs under arms and behind ears,
And between toes, with no need for fears,
The cats sniffed and sniffed with great delight,
Trying to figure out who was in sight.
But can they tell who's who, or just a face?
The researchers say it's hard to put in its place,
They need more studies, with more to explore,
To see if cats can recognize their owner's roar.
The cats rubbed their faces, a curious sight,
Marking their scent, with a gentle might,
But the researchers say, it's still unclear to see,
If cats can recognize a person, just from a smell, you see.
