I'm trying to imagine the world from this cat's point of view. Relying on smells, sounds, touch and vibration. I bet she can hear and smell small critters just fine, but would she be able to successfully hunt them?

She can still hunt rabbits somehow.

Not that they let her. They just discovered this by accident. She's an indoor cat that roams their high fence backyard when they're out there.

If the critter is close enough, their whiskers can pick up on vibrations in the air AFAIK, so they could probably still hunt.
