Cat's Eye View

Cat behaviorists and biologists work with cats in their research facilities to discover how the physiology of domestic cats' eyes, ears, whiskers, and skeltomusculature can sense movement of prey, help them jump five times their body length, balance on narrow ledges or branches and unleash more power than a racehorse and what happens in the milliseconds that lead up to a pounce. Also, neighborhood cat owners get help to get their cats to better utilize cat flaps and reduce anxiety driven behaviors to make them feel more confident in their backyards.
