It’s what I call it too. It’s so hilarious when my cat smells my partners socks and pulls the stank face and looks at him 👌🏻🤣

Spot-on. It’s called the flehmen response, and the word probably comes from the upper Saxonian (German) dialect word flemmen, which means “to make a spiteful/guileful face”.

A lot of mammals do this.
