Many people note the ability of cats to rotate and move their ears in a variety of directions.
It is not difficult to guess that the pet does this in order to hear better. It is also interesting that each ear can be directed in a different direction without much effort.
A cat can enhance its perception of a sound signal by turning not its head, but simply its ear towards the source.
This feature allows you to enhance perception by 20%, and at the same time determine the source of the sound.
Hearing helps a cat when hunting, helps it avoid collisions with enemies and move safely along the streets of populated areas.
In this case, each ear of the cat can turn in different directions: one can remain motionless, and the other can turn in the desired direction.
According to experts, as many as 32 muscles are responsible for the mobility of one ear.
It is this feature that explains that sometimes cats do not necessarily need to see their owner approaching, but just hear a familiar sound.
Pet owners should be aware that deafness can be detected by observing the behavior of their pet's ears.
