Why can’t cats see food? Because some cats have weaker vision, they may not be able to see food. In addition, some cats may lose their sight due to age, which is one of the reasons why they cannot see food.

A shoveler found that the cat stopped eating halfway through the food, and then called to the owner, and the owner said that the food was in the bowl and it could not be seen. The owner also asked the owner to grab the food in his hand and gave it to eat.

And when you eat, you can't see where the food is, it seems to be perceived by smelling it.

In fact, cats are not blind. Cats themselves have long-sighted eyes. They seem to be blurred for cats within half a meter. They cannot see them even if they are too far away. They feel more like presighted eyes. They cannot feel those who move very fast. They are only sensitive to a certain speed and movement trajectory.

Because they are things that cannot be seen clearly by far-sighted eyes, prey may cause prey to escape from under the mouth, so beards should be used to make up for visual deficiencies.

When identifying things nearby, they try to strode forward to determine the direction of their target. The beard can sense tiny airflow changes around it, helping them avoid obstacles.

It is said that the beard can also be used to measure the size of the space to pass through.
