    Primates are vision-orientated and are distinguished from other mammals. The reduction of the snout in primates is a correlate of the diminution of the sense of smell, or olfaction. To a great extent, visual acuity and manual dexterity have replaced the sensitive, inquiring nose found in so many nonprimate mammals.

Therefore the differece from cats.
