Cats hear ultrasonic frequencies, distant noises, and vibrations that humans miss entirely. The video breaks down six types of sounds only cats can detect, from prey calls to underground vibrations, and asks how your cat reacts to them.
Did you know that cats can hear sounds that we can't? In this video by an animal expert, you'll discover the different sounds that only cats can hear. Don't miss it. Ultrasonic Frequencies While humans can hear up to 20,000 kilohertz, cats can hear up to 100 kilohertz. This allows them to hear much higher pitched noises, such as the ultrasonic frequencies of certain devices. Do you want to check it out? We're going to play an ultrasound that you won't be able to hear, but we encourage you to call your cat to see how it reacts. So what did your cat do when it heard the ultrasound? Don't forget to tell us in the comments how it reacted. Sounds at Long Distances in the meantime, let's continue with other sounds. Have you seen your cat staring at a point? It's most likely that it's picking up a sound at a distance that we can't perceive. Cats can detect noises from 20 or 25 meters away. This explains why they know you're coming home long before you even get in. But this sensitivity also means that loud noises can be very annoying to them. Some examples are ambulance sirens, thunder or fireworks. If your cat is one of those who gets very scared by the sound of fireworks in the video that we have left for you above, we will help you deal with it. Noises of Possible Prey on the other hand, cats are natural hunters and their hearing allows them to hear the sounds made by their prey, such as mice or birds. These sounds are usually inaudible to us if these animals are not nearby. However, cats detect them and use them to locate and track this prey. Do you want to see if your cat reacts to these sounds? We are going to play some noises made by animals that are usually prey for cats. Your cat has detected these sounds. How has it reacted? Tell us in the comments. Sounds of Nature in addition to their prey, cats can hear other sounds of nature, such as the rustling of leaves or the footsteps of ants walking. Unlike dogs, cats have a greater hearing range. This is because cats have 32 muscles in their ears and dogs have 17. This greater number of muscles gives them the flexibility to better capture sound stimuli. Underground Vibrations in relation to these types of sounds, it is said that some animals can anticipate natural disasters. Although it is not completely scientifically proven, it is true that cats can detect vibrations and high frequency sounds in the ground. This allows them to anticipate events such as earthquakes or tsunamis. Did you know? Heart and Lung rate Cats can also hear your heartbeat and the rhythm of your breathing. This ability helps them detect your emotions, such as stress or fear. In addition, their keen sense of smell allows them to perceive hormonal changes in your body. This can affect their behavior towards you, depending on what they detect. For example, cats can tell that a woman is pregnant even before she herself does by the changes her body experiences. If you're interested in this topic and want to know in more detail how they detect pregnancy, don't miss the video we've left for you above. Tell us did you know that your cat was able to hear so many sounds and at such long distances? Until next time, experts.
