"cats have a visual field that spans a whopping 200 degrees, as
compared to 180 degrees in humans"
I disagree with this. Firstly, I tested my own vision and I have
220 degrees. Secondly, I always find my cats looking straight at
me or whatever they want to examine, they don't seem to be able to
see sideways, and the other day I walked over to one cat, I was 90
degrees from his forward direction, and he didn't see me until I
touched him to stroke him, which scared the hell out of him.
What are your experiences of cats vision (and your own)?

This is a DIY group.
Get a woman, a job and a life Peter.
When is the last time you had a shag?


You might get lucky with a pickup line like that.
If so, don't post the video.


I have never needed luck.


Nice to know. Hope you and Peter have a fun time.
