If you ever watch a cat sitting in a field all crouched down in the ready position you will notice he is not looking all over the place. Instead he is simply remaining unfocused on the entire area (field). For this reason, when there is any movement whatsoever and regardless how small, the cats eyes will react locking in on it at an amazing speed. If you practice this method you will get good at it. You can also try an experiment that can show you how well this works by focusing on an object and really staring at it. But when you do focus on an object you might not even see someone walk by or a car move someplace else. This means that you eyes have to "Un-focus" as if being ripped away and then your subconscious has to look and search for what has moved and then it still has to focus and adjust. All this takes a huge amount of time. While you are still un focusing and locating the object that moved the cat has already pounced on it. This same method can be included in race cars as well.Gary Fauleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04875526477448719491noreply@blogger.com
