N.B. Certain parts of this film don't have any audio. Cats are at a crucial point in their evolutionary journey as they transform from solitary hunters to domestic pets, a study by the BBC and the Royal Veterinary College has revealed. Our felines are adapting quickly to life in densely-packed cities, changing their behaviour to fit in with our 21st Century lives. They are time-sharing territory with other cats, killing less prey and learning to communicate with each other and people, research for BBC Two's Cat Watch 2014 found. In the first of a three-part series on the lives of modern domestic cats, we look at how our pets experience the world.

I am happy to tell you that your milk is for your own babies and that I would never eat you. Goat milk is for kids! If milk were meant for adult humans - we'd still be suckling off our own Mums :D

I make fun of my cat for “forgetting his mouth open” when he makes that grimmace, turns out it has a reason
That's news to me. I didn't know they could smell with their mouths

Some other animals have similar ways of gathering smells. Cattle do much the same as cats, taking in odors and processing through their mouths, especially to determine the time of mating preparedness.

My cat: Eat, shit, sleep.. repeat
Thank you. I've seen my cats sniff and area I cleaned with cleanser and do the thing were they open their mouths, its like their trying to analyze the scent and they look at me when they do this with the expression, like what is this?

I had no idea they could see THAT well in the dark.
Cats are examples of beautiful art and design combined with precision engineering. If they dont point you to a Designer, I don't know what will.
Nope, they see all the colors we do, they did some tests with colors one cats and it turns out they see all the colors we do.

my cat:eat sleep murder eat repeat
1:54 I have to say, This is a mighty cute cat.
For the first 40 secs I checked 4 times whether my head phones are damaged 🤣🤣
Me: *"What it's like being a cat?"* Cat : *"meow"* Me: *"that's deep"*
they call it a grimace. but look at the cats and the lioness' body language. there's no tension in their frames. There's no fear or disgust. They're alert but not tense.
I love cats
Where can I find the full documentary ? What's it's name ?
2:06 Lenin cat
silly humans, cat is going to rule over the world!! ^OwO^
They have amazing sense but still ignoring me when i call them 😭
Who else thought their sound went out?
I thought my sound wasn’t working in the beginning of this video 😐
Now I want to be a cat. :')
Interesting video. The hearing part was weird. I thought it was showing blind people at first.
I would love to be a cat
Thought they were gonna interview the cat for some reason.
Where is the rest of the documentation? This should be at least 30 minutes long!
So cats constantly hear orchestral music that we can't, thank you I learned something new

Thank you ive always wanted to know
Video seemed as though they were gearing up to chat about the frequency in which these cats hear (was device not giving out mouse sounds?), but then they switched to talking about their sense of smell...?
There's no narrator voiceover on the first half of the video
1:55 one word awwwwwwwwwwww so cute:)
Amazing!
Cats are the best! ❤️
did they took the cat's eye and put it on camera lens?
1:47 so cute
1:48 This is my father
Peace bbc your doing pretty good actually, remember to consult sir David on the finer points Much love
My cat can hear my fridge open from anywhere...
Turn it up! Turn it up!

1:44...thats blofled's cat!!!!
Brilliant
I bet you there are people who don’t realize the Cat vision is a simulated view and not actually the view from a cats eyes
I love how this randomly popped up in recommendations during quarantine when we're all basically cats.
This appears in my recommendation. I clicked bcoz of the cat.
well that's 3 minutes of my life I will never get back

Why were they standing around like that???
They left out the fact that cats can only see a blur a foot away from their face
0:37 - 0:53 I will cut this out and send it to people without context.
Cool. The cat's are sure there is a cricket in that box!
How did u know all of these?
Is there supposed to be silence?
I love cats.

I clicked because of the cat in the thumbnail..
Cats are almost colorblind
1:58 what cat is that
Nice video.
for the first 30s, i though being a cat is like being deaf or something
1:48 what breed?
it's a hard not life, man sometimes my master forgets to fill my bowl up even after ONLY 16 minutes
