Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Some interesting info…Did you know that cats are nearsighted? This means they can’t see things right in front of their faces! Anything closer than about 25 centimeters to their faces is exceptionally blurry. This is because a cat’s eyes are incredibly large in proportion to the rest of their skull. Because of this, they lack the muscles needed to change the shape of items close to their faces.
Instead, they use their whiskers to explore their surroundings and detect objects close to them. This is why your cat might not react much when you hold a treat up too close to its face. All they see is a blurry blob! Try backing away when you want to help your furry feline to identify specific objects.
Work-cat only eats treats from our hands. If you place them in front of her she may deign to sniff them, but will just stare at you in confusion until you hand feed her. She was a ‘feral’ who tamed us, I believe it is all a part of our training to be good, well-behaved, peoples.
Our cats mostly got that way as they aged, one was always far-sighted however and took a little maneuvering to find close treats and the surface of the water in the bowl.
I had cats for many years, and I do not recall there even being a market for cat treats. My cats were lean and self-feeders. I offered bits of human food if I thought they might like it, but usually just put them in their food bowl. One insisted on sitting nicely in a kitchen chair and stayed off the table. She had her own little plate and if we had something she might want, she was given little pieces. She never helped set the table, clear the table, or do dishes. It was like being married again.

I feel like I’ve seen this one before.

That’s our cat. They don’t have good smell, but they can detect movement and inaudible (to us) sounds. Treats make neither.

The mouse moved. Predator or prey, it’s almost impossible for the eyes not to focus on movement.

Glue the treat to the mouse’s tail.

It’s a cat. You want logic? Get a dog.

He sees what he wants to see. The mouse is prey. The treat is a bribe.

Cats see better at a distance, they have trouble focusing on things close up.

I have to move my cats around and shove their faces into their treats so they will eat theirs and not the others’.

actually cats have a hard time seeing within 11 inches of their face

Nope, it’s just mindlessly staring off into the darkness.

So the man also saw the mouse – the tiny mouse, in the yard across the street, in the dark LOL

If only kibble could wiggle, the makers would make a fortune.
