Maybe the cat smells something through that vent? If the vent is from the basement could the smell be from Carbon Monoxide? Maybe the cat is trying to tell you something is wrong? -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. > Maybe the cat smells something through that vent?

Carbon Monoxide is *odorless* if you are even slightly worried about it...get a Carbon Monoxide detector! >> Maybe the cat smells something through that vent? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Carbon Monoxide is *odorless* if you are even slightly worried about >it...get a Carbon Monoxide detector! But is it oderless for cats? Something has the cats attention, maybe it would be wise to take a close look at the situation. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. > >> Maybe the cat smells something through that vent? > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > But is it oderless for cats?

I'm sure CO is odorless for a cat also but if there is poor combustion there can be other smells emitted... so it would not be a bad idea for your peace of mind to get a CO detector. I'm sure it's smelling something else...but why take a chance ? > >My cat keeps going to the air vent in my house and sniffing and then > >sometimes he wants to go > >out.What is he smelling ?Is he trying to see if there are other cats > >about.He has been nuetered. > Maybe the cat smells something through that vent? If the vent > is from the basement could the smell be from Carbon Monoxide? The airvent leads directly outside and is there by law because i have a gas fire that is seviced every year so it should be ok.

Could be anything really: a mouse, a fox, a bird, the wind , another cat anything reallly. Cats work on smells which is if I;m not wrong at least 16 times better then humans so just imagine your air vent being a bulletin board for your cat :) Although i agree with Nick, the smell coming in could be also bad for one reason or another. Always trust animnals when it comes to senses we cannot even begin to comprehend. Discovery Animal Planet was showing a dog who can sniff out cancer on human body. >Is he trying to see if there are other cats about. Possibly. Cats are territorial animals, and not very appreciative on strangers on "their" territory. >He has been nuetered. Which is the best thing you could;ve done for him. It should stop him fighting (although not nececerily) , straying far from home, and dissapearing for days on end. Not to even mantion the deseases and producing more unwanted cats.

He dissapeared for 2 weeks once thought we`d seen the last of him.Had him nuetered after this.He went out again when we brought him home and disapeared for the day and he`s never gone for more than a few hours since.
