How do cats identify themselves?

Cats generally identify themselves through smell, hearing and vision. Cats are very sensitive to smells and can remember smells, so they can tell whether they are their owners by smelling the smell of a person. The cat's hearing is also very sensitive. Although the cat usually does not respond when you call it, it can hear the owner's voice. Similarly, cats can also distinguish things through vision. Generally, older cats can distinguish their owners through observation.
