yes,ofcourse bats have better hearing then cat because they catch their prey with the help of ultra sonic sound waves while cats cannot hear ultra sonic waves up to the high as a bat does

You can't confuse quality and function like that. All animals (including us) hear as they do, and as well as they need to do, for the life they lead in nature, so have a hearing band-width and sensitivity to suit. Ours is 20Hz - 20kHz, at most; with a maximum useful sound-pressure range of under 100dB re 20µPa.

.

Of cats and bats, I do not know which of the two animals has the more acute hearing, but I would think it is the cat as it has larger ears even if its frequency range and band-width are lower than the bat's. Yes, the bat has to detect and analyse extremely low sound pressure levels in the echoes of its chirps, when hunting by echo-location, but that does not make it better hearing by frequency.

.

Acuity, or sensitivity to level, in animals varies with frequency to some extent within each specie's band-width, but level is not a measure of frequency.

Which has better hearing dog or a cat?

Dogs generally have better hearing than cats, as they have a wider range of frequencies they can detect. Dogs also have a more acute sense of hearing due to the shape of their ear canals. Cats have good hearing as well, but dogs are typically more sensitive to sounds from a farther distance.

Why do cats miaow when you play the flute?

Some cats are more sensitive than others. Remember, a cats hearing is much better than ours and hear anything we hear but many times louder. Cats hearing is better than a humans and a dogs. Human hearing stops at 20 kilohertz and a cats stops at 65! When you are playing, don't think your cat is being mean, stingy, or thinks you play bad, it is just they hear the flute many times louder than we do.
