Are cats ears more sensitive than a dog?

In: Dogs (Canines), Cats (Felines), Foxes [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. Humans can hear up to 20,000 megahertz ( a measurement of sound). Dogs can hear 35,000 to 40,000 megahertz. Cats pick up an astonishing 100,000 megahertz. They can even hear the ultrasonic sounds that are known to precede natural occurrences such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and electrical storms. This is because a cat's ears have pinnae, or ear cones, that turn in all directions like radar. Most people can't move their ears at all. Pretty neat huh?
