Cats' Eyes
The eye of a cat contains a layer called the tapetum lucidum, not found
in humans. Positioned immediately behind the retina, it reflects incoming
light, doubling the amount of light the eye can use and allowing cats to see
in much dimmer light than we can. This layer is also the reason why cat
eyes seem to glow when a flashlight beam is shined directly at them.
Cat eyelids are prized wide open at night, allowing as much light as
possible to enter. Another reason why cats can see so well in the dark is be-
cause their retinas contain more rod cells than cone cells. Thanks to this
system created by God, wild cats can comfortably hunt at night.
