Yes it does, as with most cats the hearing is one of the most developed senses. Just like pet cats they can independently rotate each ear through 180 degrees enabling them to triangulate any given sound, ideal for hunting small mammals in dense cover it can pounce and kill without seeing the prey trusting only in its ears. Wildcats are also very adept at differentiating between different tones up to extremely high frequencies; far more so than any dog, this has developed to pick up high pitched squeaking noises from small prey.

Yes, the Scottish wildcat has several adaptations that help it thrive in its rugged environment. Its thick, striped fur provides excellent camouflage in the Scottish heather and helps insulate against cold weather. Additionally, its muscular build and strong legs enable it to navigate rocky terrain and make agile jumps when hunting small prey. The wildcat's keen senses, particularly its sharp hearing and excellent night vision, enhance its ability to hunt effectively at dawn and dusk.
