Another of the cat's heightened awareness is their hearing.
The house we are renting is not well heated, so we got an electric mattress pad a few months back. We actually thought we were getting a blanket (picked up wrong item off the shelf), but a mattress pad seems to work out better with cats "kneading" the covers.
No matter where Jackson and Rosie are in the house, when we turn it on to start warming, and those two hear it click on and make a mad dash to the bed.
