@Free_Press Wow, that's cool. I didn't know cats could do that, but it make sense that they'd be good at it.
By the way, in my school years I was the orange cat. In later years I became quite the ninja at throw-catch and I realized my problem was that I was afraid of the ball. To be good at it you have to keep your eyes open and on the object(s) in flight at all times. Wincing=failure.
@jhavok @Free_Press Same here. I believe this has to do with foveal vs. extra-foveal vision. The center of the retina gives high resolution, high-def color discrimination, lower sensitivity, and slow response. Extra-foveal is lower resolution, poorer color, higher light sensitivity, and fast response. This is by design. It's well known to astronomers looking through telescopes at faint objects at the limit of vision. At the eyepiece you intentionally switch between averted and non-averted vision.
My problem when I was younger was keeping my eyes open when something was thrown at me. If your eyes are closed, you will fail. Hahaha.
@shuttersparks @Free_Press I have an odd problem related to my dysfunctional hand-eye coordination, if I look at the thrown object I cannot catch it, but if I rely on my peripheral vision I am fine.
