Hearing Sounds in Cats II

his is important to uncover potential prey or dangers for a cat. Cats can also hear across great distances, around five times more than a human can. If a cat seems alarmed or intrigued for no apparent reason, they would have probably heard something in the distance.

Sound is a sensitive part of a cats life and hearing provides many utilities such as hunting, locating and communicating. Calling for a cat in the distance by its name will more often than not cause a reaction. The heightened sense is a great tool for a cat but is uncomfortable against louder noises due to increased sensitivity.
