3. Do cats have peripheral vision?
Cats have built-in panoramic vision that beats ours. Their visual field is basically what we can see in our periphery -- the left, right, above and below us -- when our eyes are focused on a single point straight ahead. While we have a visual field of about 180 degrees on average, cats have a slightly wider one at 200 degrees. Like a wide angle lens on a camera, this expanded peripheral vision is perfect for spotting prey out the corner of their eyes.
