Mostly by sight. A cat can hear the high pitched flutter of a bird's wings that we can't hear. They smell them. A cat smells 14 times better than a person. A bird to a cat means one thing...It's dinner time.

As hunting creatures who have evolved to depend on their senses, though, cats have much sharper senses than humans; they can hear better, see better, and smell better than the best of humans. When a cat startles at something you couldn't hear, that's simply because the cat's hearing is so much better than yours.

Why are outside cats thinner than inside cats?
It's because of the food they eat. Inside cats are fed cat food, and cat food usually makes a cat gain more weight because some of the cat food ingredients. Now, a outside cat doesn't eat cat food. A outside cat eats stuff like mice and birds. Mice and birds don't have the ingredients cat food does. And outside cats have to hunt the mice and birds, and sometimes the cats don't catch the mice or birds. Sometimes it catches somthing sucessfully and sometimes it doesn't.
