Cats' Ears

Cats have relatively large, pricked and highly mobile ears, which can collect and deflect sound rays inwards towards the eardrum and the organs of hearing. Cats are able to detect rounds with higher frequency wavelengths in the ultrasonic range up to about 65 KHz. However, noises with lower frequency wavelengths below 30 KHz are not able to be heard. Observation of a cat leaves one in no doubt as to the accuracy with which it can locate and identify sounds. Since cats hunt by stealth, crouching, prowling and finally pouncing upon their prey, it is a great advantage to be able to hear the slightest rustle in the grass and the high-pitched sounds made by their rodent prey.
