Jurassic Park has a moment where Ellie Sattler is literally elbow deep in triceratops poop. It was a pile of poop as big as a person.
…so, my question is, if dog shit smells different than cat shit, then how would directors know which scent of shit would best accentuate that scene’s full realistic immersion?
Dogs are omnivores, while cats were until recently carnivores. Triceratops is a herbivore, so it would have likely smelled more like a dog’s. Probably not that much different than a cow’s.

Cats are carnivores.
Depends how you define carnivorism
If carnivores are animals that eat meat in nature, then cats are carnivores
If carnivores are animals that absolutely require meat to survive, then cats stopped being carnivores a little while ago.
Cats, even domesticated species, are still obligate carnivores, as in they will die of malnutrition eventually if they are put on a non-meat diet.
They 100% need to eat meat to survive. Vegan cat food will kill them slowly as they can’t properly process the proteins in plants.
Outdated information. We recently invented synthetic taurine and solved that problem.
OK, yes, you are correct and I had not looked at the comparison study. Very cool! Ty.
