How Cats Know Their Owner Is Coming Home: Sixth Sense Has Nothing To Do With It

If you're lucky enough to have a respected member of your family like a cat, you've probably noticed that the furry rascal somehow always knows you're heading home and greets you by sitting at the front door.

Cat intuition has nothing to do with this superpower. Cats are able to sense the presence of their human at a distance thanks to their hearing.

Representatives of the feline family are endowed with a real gift for catching sounds.

Like people, they are able to ignore all information that does not interest them.

But information that concerns the owner, from his steps to the sound of the car engine, is very valuable.

Therefore, as soon as the cat hears such “signals”, he understands that the owner is already approaching and is about to open the door.

Hoping that something tasty will appear in the apartment along with the owner, the cat runs towards him as fast as she can.

The sense of smell also comes to the aid of hearing – cats will never confuse the smell of a familiar “two-legged” with a stranger.
