As surprising as it sounds, cats actually have to practice stealth as well. In the wild, cats often lose out on a meal because their prey can run faster and farther than they can. The only other alternative is to rely on their instinctive feline ability to blend into their surroundings, and remain perfectly still until an unwary target happens by. Cats have many astounding talents that aid their stealth activities. A cat can hear five times better than humans.
Cats can move and listen with their ears independently of each other.
Though they have no need to catch a meal, domestic cats enjoy prowling as a form of play. Just like practicing a sport helps keep people feeling more alive and alert, playing keeps cats of all ages healthy and in good physical condition. Show her off in our web photo contest.
