Cats process and analyse information quicker than we do. They are also in superfast motion and bump into things especially when running. Cats are also given to follow motion pictures. I have on many occasions caught sight of cats sitting on a widow ledge silently engaged in an interactive discourse with moving objects in its atmosphere. To test their keenness, even the slightest disturbance around them will catch their attention. Its hard to catch cats offguard. The same happens on TV. Cats see a fuller range of colours in blue, red, and yellow and see very little of reds. Both cats and dogs lack a fovea, an area of retina consisting of highly concentrated cones that we humans have giving them a visual acuity of 20/75. This means that they would see an object from 20m away while we would see the same from 75m. They detect the edges and outlines of objects in real life as well as on screen.
