Cats have very different vision than humans. Cats have a much wider field of view than humans, and can see up to 200 degrees. Cats also have excellent night vision, due to the presence of a reflective layer in the back of their eyes. This layer helps cats to see in low light conditions. Cats also have better depth perception than humans, which helps them to better judge distances. Cats also have better peripheral vision than humans, which helps them to detect movement. By understanding the differences between cat and human vision, we can better understand how cats see the world.

The biggest difference between human vision and cat vision is the retina. Cats have a high concentration of rod receptors and a low concentration of cone receptors. Humans have the opposite, which is why we can't see as well at night but can detect colours better.
