You've probably noticed the "pockets" on the edges of your whiskered-striped companion's ears.
However, did you know what exactly a cat needs this body part for?
Feline experts gave a detailed answer to this question and explained what function the “pockets” on a cat’s ears perform.
The rest of the details on this topic are revealed in the second part of our material.
Take note
According to experts, the “pocket” on a cat’s ears is scientifically called Henry’s pocket.
The specified part of the body improves the hearing of a furry friend of man. In addition, it is known that cats have 32 muscles in their ears.
This feature of the hearing apparatus allows the animal to rotate its ears and turn them independently of each other.
In this way, the whiskered-striped companion gets the opportunity to easily determine the source and direction of the sound, as well as communicate with other animals.
As for Henry's pocket, it amplifies sounds, and the cat can easily detect both high and low sound frequencies.
