Mice Can't Actually Hide From Your Cat (Here's Why) 🐱 #shorts #cat #cats #pet #petsAdded:
Your cat's hunting trick is wild.
>> [music] >> Mice leave pee everywhere they go. To you, that pee is invisible. But mouse pee has phosphorus, [music] urea, and proteins inside it. Under UV light, those chemicals do something weird. They glow yellow-green. Your cat can see UV.
Almost 60% of it reaches her eyes.
>> [music] >> Humans block all of it. So when your cat stalks through grass at dusk, she's not just smelling for mice. [music] She's following neon highways of glowing pee trails that lead her straight to the mice.
