I know that cats have a good sense of hearing, but I wonder how sensitive is cats' sense of hearing. It is because, I am notice that when I was listening to a loud music, my cat will find another room or place to sleep.

So, I make a little research about this on the internet.Lets take a look! 

CATS' SENSE OF HEARING ARE GREATER THAN HUMANS

- Cats' hearing range is 45 to 64,000 Hz.

- Cats can hear sounds we can't hear on both ends of the spectrum.

- Can hear 30 feet away as their ears are very unique.

- Sensitive to higher amplitude of sound.

2. SENSE OF SMELL

Cats could smell better than people. Cats have 200 million scent receptors, but human just have 5 million of receptors. 

For example, when you clean your cats litter box with rose-smelling cleaning product, This make your cats refuses to use it because the rose act as a repellent for the cats.
