I read a book (Homer) about a lady who adopted a blind kitten from her vet. Her job required her to move often; each time she would introduce the cat to the apartment by showing Homer the litter box and food bowls. The cat would then map the perimeter of the apartment then fill in the other details of the floor plan. If she neglected to pick up her shoes for example, the cat would crash into them and then avoid that spot for several weeks after the shoes were picked up. The cat was also very skilled at catching flys by listening to their buzzing then jumping to catch them in mid-flight.
To my point: the cat also slept with the lady and was very protective. One night the cat went on full alert and she could sense there was someone else in the bedroom. As she reached for the phone beside her bed, a voice said, "I woul"; Homer locked in on the intruder's location and launched. The police found Homer several blocks away from the apartment complex, very lost. The intruder was never found.
To fully appreciate the story you need to know that Homer was an all black cat with no eyes. Consider that it is not possible to see an all black cat with no eyes in a dark bedroom - the intruder would have had no clue.
