That’s utter nonsense. I could post many many videos of my cats focused on objects on my latop or tablet screen or perhaps a session where they follow a bug around from a few cm away for fun. But i don’t need to since you can google many such examples. There’s even tablet games for cats since they can see things so clearly | ||

Cats can’t focus on objects closer than about 25 to 30 cm away. | ||

Just because they react to these objects doesn't mean they can see them clearly. It's just physics based on the eye and lens dimensions. With human eyes that threshold is about 10 cm, and if you try seeing objects closer than that you can still very much track and identify them, but they are blurry nonetheless. Maybe cat brains are also better at compensating for it, that part we can't really know, but they are most adapted to be ambush predators that don't really need to see things up close once they lock on and pounce. | ||
