Cats' Sense

Cats have poor light vision and will often lose track of an object if it is not moving, however the reflectors in their eyes allow the to see very well in low light. They can see most colors, but have trouble with red and green, and their peripheral vision is huge.

Cats can hear very soft sounds and very high pitched sounds that humans can't, though they sometimes miss the really low sounds.

Cats can't taste sweetness, only salty, sour and bitter.

Cats have amazing smell to help with their hunting, and a little organ under their lip that lets them pick up the scents of other cats, carrying all sorts of information about them.

Cats don't have any special sense of touch, except for their whiskers, which have delicate nerve endings to help them feel vibrations, wind, hot, and cold.

It's not proven, but supposedly cats have other senses, like feeling the emotions of other living things, or knowing there's going to be a storm or an earthquake.
