they are much more aware of what goes on around them than humans are. For one, every hair on their body serves as a tactile sensor. You know that whiskers are used to determine distances and the size of openings, etc. But they use each hair on their body to detect motion and wind direction, which helps them locate their prey on a chase.Also have better hearing.

Many animals have a higher range of sounds they can hear but humans cannot. Dogs for example, can hear sounds as high as 60,000 Hz while the human range is within 20,000Hz. Lower base ranges 20 to 80 Hz are felt more than heard in many animals so while they will react, it is more fright and flight than recognition of specific sound.

They can hear things that we cant because of the way that the particular animalevolved and also haw it adapted to its environment so in order for the animal to catch it's food or for it to hear predators from a distance away their ears adapted to the environment. but we didn't need that adaptation so we don't have it.
