Can cats see in the dark, and how does their night vision work?
1 Answer
Yes, cats can see in the dark. Cats have a special adaptation called tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the back of their eyes that reflects light back through the retina. This allows cats to see in low light conditions and increases their night vision. Additionally, cats also have a wider field of vision than humans, allowing them to detect movement more easily in the dark.
