Cats’ Super Hearing and Ear Rotation

Cats can rotate their ears 180 degrees using 32 muscles in each ear. That's more muscles

than you have in both your ears combined. This superpower lets them pinpoint the exact location

of sounds without even moving their head. They can detect frequencies up to

64 kilohertz, which is way higher than dogs at 45 kilohertz. So when your cat

ignores you calling their name, they definitely heard you. They just chose

to pretend they didn't because cats are basically tiny royalty who do whatever they want.
