Question

How do cats see the world, and how does their vision differ from that of humans?

Answer 1

Cats have vision that is similar to humans, but with some key differences. Cats have a higher density of rods in their retinas, which allows them to see better in low light conditions. They also have a wider peripheral vision than humans, but their central vision is more narrow. Additionally, cats are not able to see color as well as humans.

Answer 2

For starters, cats' visual fields are broader than ours, spanning roughly 200 degrees instead of 180 degrees, and their visual acuity isn't as good. So, the things humans can sharply resolve at distances of 100-200 feet look blurry to cats, which can see these objects at distances of up to 20 feet.
