Cats seem to like observing everything we do, they like to occupy high ground and oversee our lives. They also like to go out at night and hunt in the dark. In some cases, cats can see more than humans.

The structure of a cat's eye is very delicate, it's specifically designed for 'detecting movement'. When they hunt in dense jungles or search for small prey hidden in weeds, this delicate eyeball design comes in handy.

During hunting, cats first rely on their extremely sensitive hearing and ear directional movement to locate the approximate position of the prey, then they use their very sharp vision to aim and capture the prey.

Cats are very sensitive to their vision, even the slightest movement, even movements that humans cannot detect, cats can catch them.

How do cats observe the world?

Cats have 'binocular vision', meaning the images in each eye overlap and they can see three-dimensional objects like humans. Their field of vision is about 200°.

Like most carnivorous animals, cats have eyes facing forward, at the expense of left and right vision. But at the same time, the unique structure of the eyes also provides them with a greater degree of depth perception

Think about it, wouldn't you be amazed at your cat jumping from the ground to the edge of the window without touching the window?

This amazing behavior requires cats to have excellent balance and also requires cats to have precise distance judgment, and their unique eye mechanism provides them with this ability.

Can cats really see things in the dark?

If you have a cat, you'll find that cats may be a little nearsighted. This means that cats' vision is more suitable for capturing prey that are closer to them. Objects more than a few hundred meters away usually don't interest cats because they can't see them clearly.

The retina of a cat has both cone cells and rod cells. Cone cells give cats excellent vision and binocular vision, allowing them to accurately judge speed and distance, this ability helps them survive as 'hunters'.

Although cone cells are also responsible for color vision, research in this area is still limited, but we know that cats can see colors, but the colors they can see may not be as many as we can see.

And what colors do cats see?

Green and blue seem to be the two colors that most strongly perceive cats. In addition, they also react to purple, green and yellow. Red, orange and brown may be beyond the visual ability of cats, these colors may be replaced by gray or purple.

However, so far, no one knows exactly what colors cats see.

Cat pupil size and meaning

If you have a cat, you'll notice that cats' pupils change is very common and exaggerated. Cats' pupils can change from a narrow slit to a full circle, almost filling their entire eyes.

What do these changes mean there are two possible reasons for these changes

① Reaction to environmental light

When the light is weak, cats' pupils will get bigger. As the pupils get bigger, more light passes through the lens and finally reaches the retina. When the light is strong, the pupils will shrink. Shrinking the pupils avoids too much light entering the cat's eyes to protect the eyes from being damaged by strong light.

② A reaction of emotion (usually fear)

When a cat feels threatened, they will enter a 'flight response'. At this time, their entire body will concentrate on the danger they perceive, and when they try to observe all the subtle changes in the environment, their pupils will enlarge to help them see more clearly.

But this doesn't mean that a cat in a narrow pupil state is necessarily relaxed. If the surrounding light is really strong, then its self-protection awareness of the eyes will exceed this 'flight response'

If you observe a cat in a state of fear, you must be careful at this time, because it may attack you at any time.

Cat eye color types

Different cats have different colored eyes, the three most common colors are golden, green and orange. Blue eyes are usually associated with the Siamese cat breed, sometimes white cats also have blue eyes.

If a white cat has two blue eyes, it may be a deaf cat. But if the white cat has orange eyes, their hearing is generally normal.

① Cats with yellow or golden eyes

Yellow is the most common color of cats' eyes, it can be seen in many breeds of cats.

② Cats with green eyes

Green is a variation of yellow eyes, there are green shades in part of the iris. Some breeders are working hard to cultivate cats with green eyes.

③ Cats with blue eyes

Cats with blue eyes are usually found in spotted or white cats. The color of the eyes of Siamese cats are usually blue.

④ Cats with orange eyes

Orange-eyed cats are also common, many pet cats are orange-eyed now.

Conclusion

Cats have a very strong visual awareness, what they see far exceeds what humans can see. Cats' keen vision not only allows them to accurately capture prey, but also helps them avoid the threat of other animals. Today, cats have become companions for many people, and their unique eyes have brought warmth and healing to people.
