RE: Look What I Got For My Birthday!! ~ A Nice Surprise In The Mail ~ With Help From Stinky the Cat ~ Original Photography, Art, and Short Discussion ~
That is very interesting. I've never seen a cat trip over it's feet or take an UN-expected tumble. I wonder what their secret is? All those whiskers? Forward-facing backup cameras?
Which begs another question. Do cats ever mess with their friends? Two Tom's walking down an alley, one looks over at the other while they're moseying and says "Look, over there, it's a fat mouse"...just to see if he can make his friend trip over an ash-can lid. Since he KNOWS his buddy can't see down below his nose. It COULD happen.
Like birds, cats have a homing ability that uses its biological clock, the angle of the sun, and the Earth's magnetic field. A cat taken far from its home can return to it. But if a cat's owners move far from its home, the cat can't find them.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen a cross-eyed cat, so this makes total sense. Nature is SO amazing.
