Contrary to popular belief, cats cannot see in total darkness, but they can do a good job with only a little bit of light. Cats are nocturnal and they are hunters, so they are quick to pick up anything that moves, and they can distinguish brightness far better than their human counterparts. Sometimes, you might go looking for a cat. Sometimes, one will find you. Depending on where you live and the overall reception you give a stray cat that's hanging around, you might find a pal for life.
