Original Text
Cats are built to hunt. Among their superior senses, they have excellent eyesight. They have a wider field of vision than humans do, so they can accurately judge where their prey is. Their large, light-sensitive eyes, like their wild cousins, are for night hunting. A cat’s pupils contract to slits rather than circles. This allows them to control more precisely the amount of light that enters their eyes and also to protect their retinas. The pupils also have a reflective layer called thetapetum lucidum that helps cats see better in darkness—and makes their eyes shine yellow-green in car headlights or flash photographs.
