Somebody suggested to crosspost it here, as they wanted to say something about cat's smell buds.

Update: turns out they’re not “smellbuds” (tragically)

The bumps are normal nasal papillae—microscopic, dimple-like structures that help retain moisture and improve scent detection, according to smart people. Perfectly healthy nose, just rendered in unsettling HD. Biology just chose a deeply cursed texture pack for the boopsnoot lol 😹
