Cat Mom, I came back to this question because I have been bothered by the comment I left. It was unnecessarily harsh. My apologies to Robofan301 for my words and my tone. Cat Mom is right. Peace to you both.

I am openly, joyously, and unapologetically a dog person. I spent years studying wolf behavior, and I've shared my life with all the dogs for whom I could provide. I love them and I prefer their company to most humans.

Guy, i’m less concerned about dogs hearing than I own my own. I have never forced my neighbors to listen to my pet. Have any of you?

Recent studies comparing cats and dogs show that cats have better hearing and sight, and dogs only excel cats when it comes to smell.

What they lack in sight they more than make up in hearing and of course smell.

Lionessa, but, although the question was which animal can hear 4 times better than humans, cats was one of the answer choices so Robofan301 wasn't wrong to wonder & ask her question

Everything they said about the dog can also be said about a cat. Do they have any proof that a dogs hearing is more sensitive than a cat , rabbit or any other mammal for that matter?
