A dog&#8217;s ears are incredibly sensitive, sure, and can hear for kilometers all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats, though, can perceive sounds that are even higher than a dog can. The actual <a href=\"https:\/\/firstvet.com\/us\/articles\/how-well-do-cats-hear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">range of hearing<\/a> goes from around 45 to 60,000 hertz. Compared to the range of a human &#8211; 20 to 20,000 hertz &#8211; it is almost pitiful. Anything past 20 hertz will just appear to be a piercing, high-pitched whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats can even perceive sounds that are 4-5 times further away than a human can detect. That is a heck of a burden, especially when we know that cats really are listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given these hard facts, it is not hard to see why some cats respond to dog whistles. They can hear them, after all, so if they are not responding, they are simply choosing to ignore it. Unless the dog in question<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/uk\/how-to-clean-dogs-ears-properly\/\">needs its ears cleaned out<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, cats have their own priorities besides those of their human owner. This is one of the main appeals of a cat over a dog, the idea that cats are at least a little more independent and able to function better without the intervention of their owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a pleasure all its own to imagine your furry friend strutting about the neighborhood in this way, going about their business separate from you. This is, of course, a nightmare to some others who like to know where their pet is at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that is okay &#8211; perhaps in these instances, a dog would be better suited to your purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"Can Cats Hear Dog Whistles\" class=\"wp-image-2001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220624.622.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ultrasonics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ultrasonics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason dogs and cats can hear these high-pitched sounds is due to their ability to detect sounds in the ultrasonic range. This range is named thus mostly because it is beyond the hearing capabilities of humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hearing range of a dog will reach peaks of about 45000 hertz, cats even hear as high as 65000 hertz. Seeing as the range of the dog whistles under the microscope today is usually between 23000 &#8211; 54000, it is no wonder they can have such an effect on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is all relative, of course. Some cats and dogs will respond strongly to some sonic signals whereas others will not. The personalities of these animals are replete and multifaceted, and there is no one tell-all method to understand all of them in one stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"Can Cats Hear Dog Whistles\" class=\"wp-image-2003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T220906.928.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"last-whistle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last Whistle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, there you have it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully, this has cleared up any questions you had about what cats, dogs, and humans can hear in relation to one another.
