To my knowledge, the sense of smell requires that an odor MUST be inhaled in order to sense [or "smell"] it. Therefore, cats, dogs, humans, etc., cannot smell past the entrance of their noses. There is no distance in the ability to smell. On the other hand, among animals, there is a distinct difference in the sensitivity of their abilities to detect minute odors, and this part of the answer is outside of my knowledge, and hopefully will be added when an expert improves this answer.

Why is my cat's nose dripping wet?

Why is a cat's nose wet when purring?

A cat's nose is wet when purring because it helps them to better smell and breathe. The moisture on their nose helps to trap scent particles in the air, enhancing their sense of smell. Additionally, the moisture helps to keep their nasal passages moist, making it easier for them to breathe, especially when purring, which can sometimes cause their breathing to become more rapid.
