Cats are very sensitive to sound, with a range of
hearing both above and below the range of frequencies that can be
detected by people. They can hear better than people and even better
than most dogs. Feline hearing also acts as a direction finder, which is
useful for hunting purposes. Cats generally turn their heads toward the
direction of the sound while listening to pinpoint the location. The
ear canal of cats is deeper and more tapered than in people. This deeper
canal is subject to buildup of dirt and wax that can lead to
inflammation and secondary infection, although to a lesser degree than
in dogs.
Cats do not rely as much on the sense of smell as some
other animals. The sense of smell is less developed in cats than in
dogs. Like people, cats are finicky about odors and try to cover
disagreeable smells. Also like people, odor is an extremely important
part of taste and enjoyment of food for cats. Cats that have lost their
sense of smell due to illness (such as nasal or severe respiratory
infection, nerve damage, or certain cancers) often stop eating
completely.
Most cats are excited by the smell of catnip, a plant
that is a member of the mint family. However, not all cats react in the
same way. Some become manic, others roll and purr, others are minimally
affected. This herb is harmless and can be given to your cat either
directly or as part of a catnip toy or ball.
In relation to their body size, cats have the largest eyes of any mammal. Most cats do not have eyelashes. They see about 6 times better than a human at night, and need 1/6 the amount of light that a human does due to a layer of extra reflecting cells which absorb light. Recent studies have shown that cats can see blue and green, but there is disagreement as to whether they can see red. Protruding eyes give cats a wider angle of vision than we have. They also have great peripheral vision. That is why their field of vision is about 185 degrees. Both these adaptations are advantages to animals that are both predator and prey in the wild.
