The differences are striking.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-cats-actually-see-the-environment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How cats actually see<\/strong> the environment<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While dogs perceive time at roughly 33 percent slower than humans, making our movements and voices appear slower and lower to them, cats experience the opposite. They process visual information significantly faster than both dogs and humans.<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-3eaf9e2f09314a81cef4797807c6eb7e\" class=\"newsner-3eaf9e2f09314a81cef4797807c6eb7e newsner-incide_content_once\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats see at around 100 frames per second, compared to the 30 to 60 frames per second most humans perceive. In practical terms this means the world moves more slowly from a cat\u2019s perspective, giving them more time to react to fast-moving objects. This goes a long way toward explaining their extraordinary reflexes and their seemingly effortless ability to land on their feet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rll-youtube-player\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gvg242U2YfQ\" data-id=\"Gvg242U2YfQ\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-alt=\"How The World SOUNDS To Animals\">\n<div data-id=\"Gvg242U2YfQ\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gvg242U2YfQ\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCats don\u2019t see in many more colors than dogs do but the sharpness in which they see is much superior to dogs and humans,\u201d Jordan explained in the video. \u201cNonetheless, it makes it impressive that they can always land on their feet considering that they have less time to process it.\u201d<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-viewers-are-seriously-impressed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Viewers are seriously impressed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simulation has prompted a wave of comments from cat owners seeing their pets in a new light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou mean to tell me my cat is making these insane ninja moves in a faster timeline than I see them?\u201d one person wrote. \u201cThat just made me respect cats even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"newsner-1605507905\" class=\"newsner-article_inside_content\">\n<div id=\"intext_198146_2_wrapper\">\n<div id=\"intext_198146_2\" class=\"ad-space\" data-ad-unit-id=\"\/125128856\/en_newsner_com\/intext\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsner-a8b5f8cea68a4fb9f0ac5d6b4dd1469a\" class=\"newsner-a8b5f8cea68a4fb9f0ac5d6b4dd1469a newsner-amp_article_inside_content\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another commenter admitted they had always assumed cats experienced time in slow motion, explaining their dexterity. \u201cInteresting that I was completely wrong,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A simulation showing how cats see the world has gone viral. has given millions of people a glimpse into how&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":579,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":583,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions\/583"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quickrecipes.delicedcook.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
