+How does a cat use its whiskers? The usual answer is that the whiskers
+are feelers that enable a cat to tell whether a gap is wide enough for
+it to squeeze through, but the truth is more complicated and more
+remarkable. In addition to their obvious role as feelers sensitive to
+touch, the whiskers also operate as air-current detectors. As the cat
+moves along in the dark it needs to manoeuvre past solid objects without
+touching them. Each solid object it approaches causes slight eddies in
+the air, minute disturbances in the currents of air movements, and the
+cat's whiskers are so amazingly sensitive that they can read these air
+changes and respond to the presence of solid obstacles even without
+touching them.

+Cats hate doors. Doors simply do not register in the evolutionary story
+of the cat family. They constantly block patrolling activities and
+prevent cats from exploring their home range and then returning to their
+central, secure base at will. Humans often do not understand that a cat
+needs to make only a brief survey of its territory before returning with
+all the necessary information about the activities of other cats in the
+vicinity. It likes to make these tours of inspection at frequent
+intervals, but does not want to stay outside for very long, unless there
+has been some special and unexpected change in the condition of the
+local feline population.
