...Well, their senses are so much smarter than ours. I mean, they're much sharper. Also they're physically more adept. If we had the jumping ability of a cat from a standing position, we'd be able to jump on the top of a two-story house. It's pretty amazing. The other thing is, animals are not hagridden by ideologies. There are no screens between them and reality, so they see things much more clearly than people...
