      That’s quite hard to say! All of the cats senses are highly adapted, it has excellent eyesight, especially at night, its sense of smell is 14 times greater than ours, they can hear a greater range of sounds than us and their whiskers mean they have excellent touch senses as well as navigation!

      In a pinch I’d have to say their sight is the most impressive sense, simply as it is the primary sense used for hunting!
