Truth About Cats Eyes.

A cat can see better in the dusk shan can human being because the cats eyes are sensitive to ultra violet rays. Its pupils are capable of great CT expansion than those of mans or of almost any other animal, thus ad- hitting more light. The cat uses its whiskers for feelers in the dark. Its sure-footedness is great help to It. So it gets along better in the dark than Taost animals. The belief that IL can see by night with the same de. gree of clenrness as by day Is, how ever erroneous.
