Cats (and dogs) can determine the direction a sound is coming from and pinpoint it more specifically than many other animals.
The ability to locate the direction of a sound is partly determined by the distance between the ears – so it is interesting to note that a great deal of a cat’s brain must be devoted to hearing since she can equal a dog’s auditory performance but her had is much smaller, and therefore has less distance between her ears. A cat’s hearing can even out-perform larger animals like horses. Radio show host and pet expert Tracie Hotchner is the author of The Dog Bible and The Cat Bible. Click here to follow her on Twitter. |
