A cat's sense of taste is acute (as is the cat's hearing and sense of smell - it must feel as if you are bombarded with stimuli if you are a cat). The sense of smell apparently comes from taste buds on papillae at the tip and sides of the tongue. These taste buds are also located at several locations on the roof and back of the mouth. Cats have a limited ability to taste sweet flavours. It is said, in fact, that cats cannot taste sweet food.
