That's a fable.
Percy Shaw's was never offered a 'per mile deal' for this invention of Cat's Eyes by the British government or anyone else.
Percy Shaw could have made a lot more money from the royalties of his invention had he allowed it to be manufactured abroad. However since, in his words, he didn't trust foreigners except to make the face plates, the money he made was always limited because he insisted on only allowing the supply of Cats Eyes glass and their rubber housings to be manufactured in his factory.

Cats have great hearing but I think a mile is a bit far for a cat to hear. I haven't found anything that says that a cat can hear it a mile away.
Domestic cats can usually reach top speeds of 30-35 mile per hour. Because of the way Bengal cats are built, they are most likely at the top of that estimate.
When the ostrich is frightened, the answer is 1.609344 kilometers per mile. (rounded)(Also when he's eating or asleep, and same figure for horses, snails, cats, fish, and people.)
No a metaphor is: Mary is a cold fish that means that she doesn't have emotions. other examples are: you snore louder than a freight train its raining cats and dogs her teeth are blinding white his smile is a mile wide her eyes are as big as saucers these are all examples of metaphors which are sometimes called hyperbole's
Tigers and other cats have a great sense of smell I'm not sure how far they can smell but I think that it is at least 1 mile.
