What are the cat’s powers?

You can see the whole universe in the cat’s eyes. Yes, I prefer them to dogs, but everything is already explained by science, so there is a reason to call them “superheroes”.

This can be very helpful if you have to deal with mice in the house.

Let’s not forget that they can jump 5 to 6 times their size and that their body is so flexible that it can be compared to the Elastigirl from the movie “The Incredibles”. Moreover, their triangular ears are like satellites that can hear sounds that humans are not capable of.

We continue with another amazing fact about the powers of cats. They are able to see in a radius of 200 degrees, day and night. Cats also don’t need to blink like us humans.

So, even if they don’t bark or bite, you can be sure that they will do everything to protect you.
