3. Nothing gets past Ember without her notice.

All cats have better hearing than humans have. But Ember's hearing is exceptionally good, even for a cat. It is better than any other cat that I've had.

I live in a multi story apartment building on an upper floor. Ember detects when someone gets on the elevator on the ground floor and perks up in an alert posture. She is hyper vigilant with her hearing. She recognizes the sounds of the various footsteps of my neighbors when she hears them walking in the hall. For footsteps that she knows, she only perks up her ears. For ones that she doesn't know, she goes to the door to sniff under it and looks at me as if to ask, "Is it ok?"

She is my watch cat.
