10 metres / second
On average, the running speed of cats is 40km/h (25mph).
Cats are not very good long-distance runners, they get tired rather quickly. Their greatest enjoyment does not come from running, but in hunting; they are predators above anything else.
Constant spatial awareness of the head's position
With a very large number of joints in their skeleton, a very mobile spine and over 500 muscles, cats have an astounding sense of balance. When they fall upside down from a great height, they usually manage to land on their feet by first turning their head, then their body.
Can select and locate sounds with great precision.
Cats have an auditory sensitivity clearly superior to that of humans. They can detect sounds with a frequency as high as 30,000 hertz, while humans can hear sounds only up to 20,000 hertz. Cats also have an amazing ability to select sounds, which enables them to isolate one sound among others. Their pivoting ears enable them to pinpoint where sounds come from with great accuracy.
Can jump up to 6 times their own height
Cats have special features which make them impressively agile: 5 digits on their front paws, only 4 of which touch ground (the rudimentary “thumb” does not), and 4 digits on their hind paws, with pads equipped with an elastic membrane.
