Very interesting. I don't know about cats, but dogs do it to a good extent based on the lingering scent. When a dog smells something, he doesn't just get the scent like humans do. Dogs can distinguish between recent and old scents (even if they are identical) and therefore they get the whole history of the place via smell rather than just what it smells like. During lure competitions, a raccoon is often walked along an obstacle course. They often walk the racoon to a tree, make it circle around it, go up, then have it come back down and back track on the same path before going to another spot. Trained dogs are not fooled by this. They read the whole history of the trip off the scent and distinguish between the older (and double scented) smell of the raccoon and the fresher one that went the other way. Dogs also recognize the cumulative scent of a neighborhood and its inhabitants. So they can find their way to get closer to that neighborhood as wind brings it in. I am sure they have other senses too, but their sense of smell is absolutely amazing in ways that a human cannot relate to.
