Superb LowLight VisionCats can
see in incredibly dim light
conditions thanks to a
reflective layer in the back
of their eyes called the
tapetum lucidum This unique
feature allows them to
flounder about in the dark
without difficulty In fact
cats can see six times better
in low light than humans So if
youre trying to sneak up on
your cat at night think again
theyll likely spot you from a
mile awayThe WideAngle
ViewCats also have a wider
peripheral view than humans
thanks to their more
elliptical pupils This means
they can detect movement and
changes in their surroundings
with ease making them expert
hunters and vigilant guardians
Imagine being able to see
everything thats going on
around you without having to
look directly at it thats the
feline advantageThe NotSoGood

PerceptionHowever when it
comes to color vision cats are
at a disadvantage compared to
humans They have only two
types of cones in their retina
which means they can see blues
and violets but struggle with
reds and greens Scientists
believe that grass for example
appears more like a dull gray
or brown to our feline friends
