Mrs. Becca is our local cat expert. The Becca cat’s series was placed in honor of her. She has a unique way of loving your friends and family that be those with two legs or four. Please enjoy this series as it will grow into a geo art when it is done.
Have you ever called out to your cat and found that he or she seems to be ignoring you but yet you can see their ears turning in your direction?
We’ve often laughed at that in my home and reply with “I know you’re listening or at least your ears are!” Their ears are like little antennae focusing on sounds around them, picking up the tiniest of sounds that we probably cannot even hear with our human ears.
Cats have 32 muscles in each ear. This allows cats to pivot their ears 180 degrees, rotating each ear independently even, in order to be more aware of its surroundings. It takes approximately 20 of those 32 muscles to move the cat’s ear, allowing them to hear in all directions without ever moving its head. Human ears contain only 6 muscles and we can barely move our ears independently (although some have been known to at least wiggle their ears!). Cats are able to move their ears so rapidly toward a sound that they are even faster than the best watchdogs with the most sensitive aural senses! How amazing is that?
