Modern folklore is much like the past when it comes to our feline friends. They are associated with all types of enhanced sensory abilities, but one has to wonder if these claims are really true. Well, let's take a closer look.
Cats do have enhanced senses without any doubt. To understand why and how it works, it helps to understand why they have them. They are predators. A cat's senses are enhanced to help it hunt prey in practically any circumstance. Vision is the first and foremost sense for your predatory fur ball. Simply put, it has excellent night vision to support its ability to hunt mice, rodents and elephants at night. During the day, that same vision is a hinderance as their vision is worse than ours. Cats have long been associated with the devil because of their red satan eyes that show up in pictures. The truth, however, is the red you see is a reflection off a part of their eye that concentrates light so that they can see better at night. You might be surprised when it comes to hearing of a kitten. One would think it would be significantly better than us lowly humans. It is for higher pitches, but mid to lower pitches finds the cat hearing about as well as us. As we all know, a cat has a sense of smell that is simply amazing. Crack open a can of food for your kitten and they will be at your feet immediately. Compared to a human, their sense of smell is 14 time sharper and they have double the smell sensory cells. Finding your prey is key, but sooner or later you are going to have to touch something. Much of the cats sense of touch comes through its whiskers. It has them on its face, chin, legs, and ankle areas. The odd thing about a cat's whiskers is the input they provide. A cat's brain will actually process the sense the same way as it will vision. As a result, scientists belive that cats more or less "see" with their whiskers. Imagine if you couldn't taste sugar. No chocolate. No candy. No fruit. Well, this is more or less the situation with cats when it comes to a sense of taste. They have serious trouble processing sugars, so they tend to stick to meat. Does your cat have enhanced sense. Clearly it does, although probably in different ways than you anticipated. Should you be worried about these senses? Not until cats take over the world!
