Ears. For us human, ears basically are used for hearing sound. However, there are few different uses of ears for cats.
Cats ears can pick up the low scale of sound as good as human being. However, cats had the advantage to hear more high frequency sound up to 64 kHz. Which mean that cat ears are more sensitive than ours. This sensitive ears give them advantage especially when cat stalking it preys. Or protecting themselves from danger.

| "I can hear that!!" |
Cats ears design so that it can move it towards any sound that the ears picked up. This special movement created by a number of 32 muscles that work together to direct its ears towards the sound sources.
Beside moving its ears for detection sound, ears movement can also show a cat expression. In other words, what is the cat felt at that particular time. For example, cat tend to pull back its ears when its was angry or afraid. This particular movement comes with either hiss or growl sound.
To test your cat's ears sensitivity, just try to wiggle their toys in a distance. Normally it will hear the sound and start running towards you!
