Your Cat may see in Two-Dimension, but it is its WHISKERS that Create a Three-Dimensional World for it

Your cat has a completely impressive way of turning its flat-looking world into a three-dimensional sense. The whiskers on your cat serve a higher purpose than just looks. It can actually manipulate its whiskers to “feel out” the three-dimensional world. Your cat measures dimensions of things (space, depth, distance) by moving the different rows of whiskers independently in certain directions (almost like moving antennae).

Because the base of the whiskers have many nerve endings and also the whiskers themselves have a lot of nerve endings, your cat can observe air currents and sense object that may not be apparent with the two-dimensional vision. Pay a visit to the website of the vets North West London.
