Well, my two cats can hear a can of cat food being opened from anywhere
in the house.  The moment I crunch down on the can lid with the opener,
I hear CLUNK-pat-pat-pat-pat-pat and one or two cats will come into the
kitchen.  This is based on hearing, not smell, because the same thing happens
if I open a can of something other than cat food.

I don't believe that cats cannot see stationary things -- if so, they
would bump into things.
