I’m going with smell as well. Bodies change smell a lot. I can, for example, smell when I’m a day or two out from my period (and no, not from being dirty! I can smell it even while I’m in the shower). ---

They’ll see the cat lying across their face in the video, if they review the tapes. My legs were all scratched up and I had washed of as much of the caked on blood as I could last night after picking blackberries. The cat normally nudges her nose against you to get you to pet her. Last night she was going to nudge my leg, until she got close. She started to lick my leg instead. ---
