It may be that the frequencies that actually hear are limited (I don't know), but certainly they can hear voices, tvs, etc. I have heard that cats are partially blind. Rumours include: color blindness and not being able to see stationary objects. The former may be true. The latter is almost irrelevant. Figure: it's almost impossible to hold one's head completely immobile, so all objects (relative to one's head) are moving, and therefore visible. It would be interesting to know if cats are color blind. -- kami
