Agree with the latter 2 responses. Its a fact cats have much greater hearing than dogs, dogs just act differently than cats and alert you. Dogs sense of smell however is far greater.
Do Cats Have Better Hearing Than Dogs?
Yes, cats can hear a greater frequency range ( 45 - 64,000 Hz) than dogs do (67-45,000 Hz).
Having a greater frequency doesn't mean that they hear better, just that hey hear MORE.
Can you tell the difference?
Can you tell the difference?
Cats have a greater frequency, but their responses may not be as noticable as a dogs actions.
No they do not, a way you can tell is that dogs howl when a storm is miles away but cats do nothing :P
