Isn’t it obvious that an animal that knows the sound of its prey (like a mouse scurrying or squeaking) can associate particular sounds with objects? Or as another example, I have a laser pointer that makes a sound when I switch it on. When my cats hear that sound, they instantly start scurrying around looking for the little dot of laser light to chase.
