Cats are the most popular pets. There are now over 400 million fluffy animals in the world. They have existed side by side with people for more than one millennium, but during this time we have not been able to solve all their riddles.
Probably, every coca owner saw how the animal sits and looks into the void. Many have noticed that the cat growls and hiss at an empty place. Because of this, many ask the question: why do they do this? Do they see otherworldly entities?
Scientific explanation
Everyone knows that cats can see and hear perfectly. A cat can catch a mouse, focusing only on a faint rustle, which a person cannot hear in his life. Their sense of smell is no less well developed. In addition to the nose, they have a “Jacobson's organ” on the palate, which can smell at a great distance. The mustache and eyebrows allow them to feel the slightest movement of air. That is, the sense organs in cats are much better developed than in humans.
The cat can even feel dust particles falling from above. They may not see them, but feel them. Hence the glances into the void. They feel movement, but cannot see. But they are trying. Growling and hissing is also due to the fact that the movement is felt, but its cause is not visible. This is how scientists simply explain looking into emptiness and unreasonable growling.
What if ghosts?

On the Internet, there are a lot of stories about how cats behave strangely after the death of their owners. Sometimes they begin to hiss at some place, but as soon as you sprinkle it with holy water or invite a priest, everything disappears. That is, they feel something otherworldly. Cats can predict the death of the owner or catastrophe, it has long been established. How do they know what's going to happen?
The son of the famous trainer Yuri Kuklachev believes that cats can see ghosts and communicate with the other world. Many peoples have believed in this for thousands of years. In medieval Europe, cats were exterminated, as it was believed that these animals could communicate with Satan and blink him to tempt people. among the Slavs, the cat was the first to enter the house so that she would agree with the brownie. In Japan, it was believed that the souls of the dead turn into piebald and white cats. That is, there is something mystical in cats.
Of course, believing in the ability of cats to communicate with ghosts is a personal matter. All glances into emptiness and hiss at the corners are easily explained by the developed senses. But still there is something mystical in the feline features. They can predict catastrophes and feel human death. But this belongs to the category of the unknown, to the fact that people are unlikely to be able to find out.
