Is that mint? Catnip is a type of mint, so that may be why he's interested in smelling it

Well cats can "smell" with their mouth, specifically through a structure called the vomeronasal organ (also known as Jacobson's organ) located in the roof of their mouth. This organ allows them to detect pheromones and other scents, and the sensation is often described as a combination of taste and smell. When a cat performs the flehmen response, which involves drawing back the upper lip and opening the mouth, it allows air to be drawn into the vomeronasal organ for processing.
