■Cats have some advantages that other animals do not have. One is its ability to see well in light and dark circumstances. Even the ability of the cat to see in the dark far exceeds man.
Before becoming a pet at home, cats are wild animals. In its natural state, cats hunt at night, requiring the ability to see well in dark conditions.
●The eyesight of the cat in the dark
•The ability is owned by a cat because at the back of the cat's eye there is tapetum lucidum. Mirror-like organs can reflect light that helps the cat to see in the dark. Tapetum lucidum also makes the cat's eyes can burn in the dark.
But this does not mean the cat can see in the darkness. Cats still need light though not much. Cats only need about 20 percent of the light that humans need to see.
With this remarkable ability, he can catch the mice that roam the dark night. Likewise to find cockroaches hiding in the dark, cats do not need candle light or flashlight.
●Hearing a very sensitive cat
•It turns out that cats are animals with very sensitive hearing, more than humans and dogs. Hearing a dog is indeed five times sharper than a human, but the cat's hearing is twice as sharper than a dog.
If the dog can hear a very low voice, the cat is more. If the dog can hear a very high voice, the ability of the cat is better. The ears are not only able to hear a very low voice, but also a very high voice, which can not be heard by humans!
Not only that, there are other advantages of cat ears. With a wide earlobe and can rotate 180 degrees toward the source of the sound, the cat is able to find the sound of insects coming from behind the wall though. This ability is very important for the cat to know its prey to be.
●Extraordinary body balance
•Cats do deserve to be called a reliable acrobat. Ever seen a cat walking casually on the roof? He can walk casually, not wobbled tilted to the left and right. Or have you ever seen a cat falling from a tree, landing firmly on all fours? That's the greatness of other cats. Cats, even kittens, have an extraordinary balance. When it falls, the fluid located in the inner ear of the cat moves. In very short time the cat's head also spins horizontally, matching the liquid. The body of a cat automatically moves to follow his head.
In addition, the balance of the cat is also aided by its tail. Cat tail plays a role to prevent the cat from spinning excessively. He pulled his back up to resist excessive shocks, from falling down. With it all, cats can land successfully.
