The Feline Night Vision

When a cat's eyes catch a glimmer in the dark, those bright reflections are due to the tapetum lucidum. The world through a cat's eyes is different in several ways:

Aspect	Description
Color Perception	Cats can see blue and green, but they can't differentiate red and pink, which blend into a greenish hue for them.
Night Vision	Cats have an incredible ability to capture light, making it possible to hunt with just a faint light.

Color Blind or Colorful?

We often joke that cats can't see in the dark, but that's not entirely true. Cats can see blue and green shadows, but they mix white and pink. The difference between human and feline vision lies in the retina, which contains light-sensitive cells...
