The reasons why cats can see clearly at night:

1. There is a reflective pigment layer behind the cat’s eyes, which can enhance vision in low-light environments;

2. Cats like to eat fish and mice because the taurine in their bodies can enhance their vision;

3. In places with weak light, cats want to absorb as much light as possible and see clearly. Something that dilates pupils.

The structure of cat's eyes is different from that of humans:

There is a mirror-like structure in front of the cat's retina, whose scientific name is the bright blanket. After the weak light hits the retina, it reaches the bright carpet and is reflected to the retina, which causes the light-receiving cells to receive light stimulation again, improving the function of the retina and increasing night vision. In addition, cats' pupils dilate in the dark, which helps to collect more light, thereby increasing night vision. As we all know, cats’ pupils dilate in the dark, which helps to collect more light. Therefore, cats only need one-sixth of the amount of light received by humans to see very clearly!
