If you've ever caught your cat staring at you, you might have wondered: What exactly do they see? Cats have a way of gazing into the distance that makes you question if they're pondering the mysteries of the universe. While we can't decode all their thoughts, we can delve into how cats perceive the world, including the intriguing way they see us.
While humans enjoy a vibrant spectrum of colors, cats' vision is a tad more limited. They primarily see in shades of blue and green. Reds and pinks might appear grayish to them. So, that red ball of yarn you thought would be irresistible to your cat? They might not be as impressed by its hue as you are.
Cats aren't known for having the sharpest vision when it comes to detail. Their visual acuity is around 20/100, compared to our 20/20. This means they see objects at 20 feet as if they were 100 feet away. Yet, this doesn't diminish the bond they share with us. Even if they can't see every whisker, they know their human is special.
Pussycats are crepuscular, which means they are most active during dawn and dusk. Their eyes have an advanced number of rod cells compared to humans, giving them exceptional night vision. Our pussycats are probably amused by our awkward attempts while we stumble around in the dark.
Ever notice how your cat's pupils change size? Those enchanting slits dilate and constrict based on lighting conditions and their emotional state. A cat who's feeling threatened might have dilated pupils, while a relaxed cat might show off those vertical slits.
