What can your cat do better than you?

5 things your cat can do better than you

Pouncing

Cats are natural pounces and jumpers. With streamlined and nice bodies, flexible spines, powerful legs, feet and effective claws developed to hunt in the wild life, your cat can scale walls and fences  or jump on to your bench tops at home or perhaps even your ankles, when you least expect it!

Cats can jump tremendous heights and also leap great divides - much greater distances, relative to our respective sizes, than any human high or long jumper. This ability makes them to move swiftly with maximum effect and speed. They cannot sustain lengthy runs but they can attack at a moment’s notice.

Seeing in the dark

While owners struggle to navigate their house and yard overnight in darkness, cats are at one with their nocturnal surroundings. With their ability to dilate their pupils and a reflective layer the tape-tum which concentrates light, cats are adept at night time vision and activity. This is one reason they will gladly wake you at any opportunity! Like ninjas.

Sleeping

Usually cats sleep more than human .Other than hibernating species, surely no other animal can beat the ability of the cat to snooze the day away. While we humans may spend a third of our lives in a recumbent snoozing state, cats may spend three-quarters of their life sleeping and this is real amazing. This helps them retain energy for other important duties in their daily life like eating or pouncing on unsuspecting  their owners!

Your cat may be dreaming while sleeping . You will see it twitch and move as it dreams. Or it may sleep with one ear tuned in to your movements, ready to be awakened and interact with a toy or its food bowl. No wonder we call it catnapping!

Flirting

You may think that you are captivating but your cat is so much more skilled at getting your attention! They rub up against you; they drop to the floor and roll; they wink at you; they purr and meow in a nice way– all to get your attention. While, at times, your cat may seem to ignore you, you are indeed special to your kitty and they want to show you their love and affection. 

Hearing

Cats can hear noises in the ultrasound range and they hearing system is somehow powerful than mankind. While we hear up to around 23 KHz, cats hear up to around 85 KHz, the sounds that rats and mice make! Instead of hunting these days, they are much more likely to recognize the sounds of the cat food tin opening or the rattling of the biscuit container!Believe me its real.

Cats have 32 muscles in each ear, makes them to move their ears in any direction .
