Cats' hearing is directional: noises reaching their ears are selected in the direction in which they originate.

Cats also have the ability of spatial hearing: they can recognize the power of sound, its direction and height. When a cat is sitting, you can look at her and notice that she constantly moves her ears, even in her sleep.

A cat can hear an approaching noise long before it is perceived by the human ear. For example, a person is just getting up in the elevator, and the cat is already running to meet its owner. A cat's ears can move unrelated to each other, and she can listen to two sound sources at the same time. Cat ears are also very delicate instruments. They often have mites in their ears, which significantly complicate their lives. Although cats are clean animals, sometimes it is worth checking their health, including their fine hearing.
