Several writers have described evidence that cats see stationary
objects, then go on to describe conditions where the object is
stationary but the cat (or at least his/her eyes) aren't.  

I think that the real question is how well cats see objects that are
stationare with respect to their eyes.  That is, if a cat holds his head
absolutely still, how well (relative to, say a human) does he perceive
objects?
