* Field of Vision: Cats have a wider field of vision than humans, allowing them to see almost 180 degrees horizontally.
* Blind Spot: They do have a blind spot directly in front of their nose, similar to humans. This is because their eyes are positioned on the sides of their head, giving them excellent peripheral vision but limiting their ability to see things directly in front of their nose.
* Depth Perception: They rely heavily on their whiskers to judge distance and navigate, especially in low-light conditions.
So, to answer your question directly: No, cats cannot see directly under their nose. They have a blind spot in that area. However, their excellent peripheral vision and whiskers compensate for this limitation.
