Introduction: The Curious Behavior of Cats

Cats are fascinating creatures with unique behaviors that often leave their owners puzzled. One such behavior is when a cat comes to its owner when they sing. This can be a heartwarming experience for pet owners, but it also raises the question: why do cats have this reaction to our singing?

The Science Behind a Cat’s Hearing

To understand why cats come to us when we sing, we first need to appreciate their incredible sense of hearing. Cats can hear sounds at a higher frequency than humans, up to 65,000 Hz compared to the human limit of around 20,000 Hz. Moreover, cats have an exceptional ability to detect even the slightest vibrations, which makes them highly sensitive to sound. It is no surprise that cats can easily pick up the sound of their owners singing from across the room. This heightened sense of hearing is crucial for cats in the wild to hunt their prey and avoid danger.
