About Cats Eyes
Cats are particularly good at seeing in the dark, which is why they are such good hunters.
Their eyes are considerably more extensive and spherical than a human's in proportion to the rest of their body, and this size and shape allow them to see things in conditions with very little light.
That is why they can easily wander around at night and capture their prey, and if you are unlucky, they might just bring it back to show you in the form of bugs, birds, mice and all sorts of other creatures that you don't want to share your bed within the middle of the night.
Cats will bring their capture in to show you when they are looking for some form of positive recognition, and even though you might not want to see what they have caught, they should be congratulated for what they have done where possible.
Cat's eyesight only allows them to see clearly for a few feet, but fortunately, they have a keen sense of smell that can help them become aware of approaching danger.
They are also susceptible to vibration and can 'feel' someone's presence before they can see them.
As they age, they will tend to be less aware and need additional care to avoid getting in trouble with dogs and other animals they haven't noticed approaching them.
Cats cannot rotate their eyes as much as humans and many other animals, but they are a lot more flexible and can rotate their heads a lot more, which makes up for any lack of movement in their eyes.
Cats are generally more attuned to movement and can find their prey much easier in the dark than when there is too much sunlight.
