According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn (天生的) understanding of how the physical world works.

But by demonstrating their common sense, they've shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.

Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects, lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release.

In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook.

It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over.

Large mammals once wandered the volcano's slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common.

like cats, babies appear to engage in what's called "preferential looking"—looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive as normal.

lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia.

Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America's most important research universities.

The researchers conclude that cats hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is, using their hearing.

When babies expectations are violated in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends.

I have to do an interview for the evening news about a man with dozens of cats.

They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburban dwellers have in mind.

A person, for example, who is allergic to cats would probably never become an animal doctor.

And why do cats give dead birds to their owners?

Here's one: can cats see color?

In the wild, many cats hunt at night because their eyes are designed for low light.

Most cats just drag food home because it's a safe place to eat.
