Cats are similar in anatomy
to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes,
sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. As crepuscular
predators, cats use their acute hearing and ability to see in near
darkness to locate prey. Not only can cats hear sounds too faint for
human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency
than humans can perceive. The usual prey of cats (particularly rodents
such as mice) make high frequency noises, so being able to pinpoint
these faint high-pitched sounds gave cats' ancestors an evolutionary advantage. Cats also have a much better sense of smell than humans.
