How do Cats see Color and at Night?

Cats see the world differently than humans, perceiving colors differently and having superior night vision. Cats see color, but not as vividly as humans. They have more rods for low-light vision and see less vibrant images. Cats also have a wider field of view and better night vision than humans.

 

🐱 Cats have a unique perspective on the world. 🐱 Cats have a different visual perception due to their specialized eyes and retinas, which contain more rod cells for better low-light vision.
