Your cat’s ears provide a number of advantages and support her incredible sense of hearing, which is five times more sensitive than ours. Cat ears can turn 180 degrees so your cat can pinpoint the source of a noise with ease. The ears work separately so direction and distance are easily determined. The inner ear canals are filled with fluid that can aid in balance and help your cat right herself and land on her feet. Your cat also uses her early to communicate with you and other animals. Erect ears show an intense attention whereas pinned back ears indicate that your kitty is frightened or annoyed. This body language is important in bonding with your cat and interacting with her. The ear canal is closed when your cat is born so she is deaf until they open up after about two weeks. Learn more from your Sugar Land, TX veterinary clinic.
