Why is the stereoscopic (3-D), binocular vision made possible by the forward facing eyes of the monkey advantageous to primates? Why is this feature not as important for cats?

Binocular vision allows an animal to see and judge depth. Predators need this depth perception to track and pursue prey. In short, forward-facing eyes allowed our ancestors to see through the dense leaves and branches in their forest habitat.

It is not as important for cats because they have an acute sense of hearing and smell along with good eyesight.
