Is Your Cat Tracking You?

We know cats have super-sensitive ears and can hear things we can't.  Even though it may not seem like it sometimes, your cat does hear you  - and very well as it turns out!  Can they hear you well enough to track where you are?

A recent study in Japan tested a group of domestic cats to see if they if they could track their owners using cues other than sight - specifically, hearing their owner's sound and "remembering" where it came from. 

Turns out, they do!  It's all tied into their genetic programming for hunting and finding mates.  CLICK HERE to read the Earth.com story on this fascinating study about cats and their amazing abilities!  If cats who can hear and see do this well, just imagine how much more attuned to our sounds blind cats are!
