Cat Knows Where You Are Even When They Can't See You
- jleyank 5y agoWell, they have excellent hearing and smell, so might hear footfalls in too-close hidden person testing. Also, as non-apex predators they have evolved to keep situational awareness to avoid being lunch when hunting. All of the ones I’ve had seem to rely more on sound or sight when we get home. Pausing when they see us enter but relaxing when we say something. Or, they get used to human behaviour and that involves leaving and returning.
