Sometimes we wonder what our pets will think and also how they see, especially cats who have a slightly strange look. Nickolay consulted several ophthalmologists at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School and a few other animal eye specialists, and to show us what he discovered, he compared photos of human versus cat vision.
Cats have a visual field of 200 degrees, compared to cats. 180 degrees of humans, that is, they have a wider peripheral vision than we do. In addition, they can see clearly at 6 meters away, unlike us who can see at 30 meters (unless, of course, you have some kind of visual disability, I can’t even see at 5 meters.
According to the researchers, cats can see blue and yellow, but not red, orange or brown, so the images appear, to us, with little saturation, since the human eye can see bright colors much better.
Due to the large number of rods on their retina, they are very sensitive to light dim, so their vision in the dark is much sharper than ours, although they can’t see fine detail or very colorful. Cats can see at night in one-sixth of the light we need, and their eyes sparkle, too.
