    Cats do see at night. Cat's eyes are still relatively special, the cat's cornea, pupils, eyeballs, and lenses are much larger than those of the people, and at night, the cat's pupils will become particularly large, so that the light can be effectively focused accurately, so that the cat will have vision. In addition, the structure of the cat's eyeball is short and round, compared with humans, the visual range is much wider, because of the special structure of the cat's eyes, so the cat can accurately catch mice at night, and there is no need to worry about the cat not seeing at night.

    No, I can't.

    Cats have the best eyesight at night, and at night, as long as there is a faint light, their pupils can spread dramatically, even to the highest limits.

    However, in places where there is no light at all or in the dark of the night, the sensitive cat's eyes cannot see anything.

    But as soon as there is a faint light, the cat's eyes can immediately magnify the light 40 to 50 times, so that it can see things.

    This wonderful method of folding light is a very important physiological characteristic for the ancestors of cats who used to walk nocturnally thousands of years ago.

    This is because there is a light-reflecting layer called a "choroidal blanket" (or bright carpet, illumination film) behind the cat's eye.

    The choroidal blanket acts like a mirror behind the retina, reflecting light back to the cells of the retina. Cats can make the most of every little light that enters their eyes and see things on dark streets or in rooms.

    Our human eyes absorb far less light than cats, which can see moving objects (such as mice) clearly in the dark, but humans can barely see clearly.

    However, it should be emphasized here that if it is completely dark, the cat will not see anything when its eyes are dark, and mainly rely on sound, smell and whiskers to explore the road.

    The ratio of rods to cones in cats is 25:1, compared to 4:1 in humans, so when it is dark at night, cats become more sensitive than humans, and their pupils can dilate to 90% of the surface of the eyeball in the dark, and the faint light is enough for them to hunt for prey.

    The sacrifice of the cat's color sense is exchanged for its super powerful night vision. In the dark, the cones begin to strike, and at this time, the rods in the retina come into play, and these cells cannot perceive color, so everything they see in the dark is black and white.

    In a pitch black environment, there is not much difference between the vision of cats and us humans, because there is no light and cannot be reflected. But when there is light, even if it is only very faint, the cat's eye can collect and process every ray of light available to fit into the darkest places and see things clearly.

    In terms of organ proportions, the retina of a cat's eye is not larger than that of a human, but compared to the human eye, they can collect and absorb effective light in an unusual way. The reason for this is that cats have much larger corneas, pupils, and lenses than humans. Therefore, the lens and cornea are positioned relatively close to the retina to allow the light to be precisely focused and increase the curvature of the two.

    Another advantage of this structure is that cats' eyeballs are shorter and more round than humans, giving them a wider vision than human eyes.

    Humans do not possess the skills to receive and preserve light in the eyes of cats and other animals, known as bright carpets. Located behind the retina, this reflex structure is made up of up to fifteen layers of special cells that shine like a high-performance mirror.

    Cat owners know that cat's eyes are capable of emitting a characteristic light in the dark, whether green or red or gold. This is because the cat's pupils are wide open, and the light can be reflected from the blanket, which is why this effect is produced.

    The light is darker at night, but the pupils of the kitten's eyes can be placed very large, so they can receive more light, and both eyes have a common field of vision, so they can see a lot at night. Moreover, the cat's eyes are particularly sensitive to moving light, so kittens can see mice at night.

    The principle of a cat's eyes is the same as that of a camera, and its eyesight is better than that of a person, because the cat's two eyes have a common field of vision, and the power of the common field of vision is much higher than that of a person, so the cat's vision is not only wide but also clear at night.

    Why can the kitten see the mouse at night and can't see other immovable objects, because the cat's eyes are more sensitive to light, when the light is very strong, his pupils are almost a line, and the light at night is weaker than the cherry blossom hall, the cat's pupils are expanded to the maximum, and the light will flicker on and off with the movement of the object, which will attract the attention of the cat, so the kitten can see the mouse at night.

    The kitten likes to be active next to the evening type because it prefers a dark environment, where it can open its eyes to see mice clearly. If it is a mouse or an object that does not move, the kitten may not be able to see it, because there is no change in light, and the cat is color blind, and the items it sees have no difference in color, only different shades of color.

    1.OK. 2.In fact, the cat's eyesight is not very good, so most cats perceive the direction through their sensitive sense of smell and perception, which is also an important reason why cats can see objects clearly at night.

    3.However, in the usual breeding management, the owner should also pay attention to the return of oak to protect the cat's eyes, and do not let the light tease the eyes.

    4.It is also necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital regularly for vaccination and deworming to improve the cat's immunity.

It's the same with my cat. I bought it live crucian carp and boiled it, and it only drank soup and didn't eat fish. Bought chicken breast to boil, it smelled and turned its head away. >>>More
