The retina contains specialized cells that respond to different aspects of incoming light. Cone cells contribute to color perception, while rod cells are more closely associated with vision under dim conditions. Humans have substantially more cone cells than cats, which contributes to our ability to distinguish a broader range of colors and finer color detail.\u003C/span>\u003Cspan>[1][2][3]\u003C/span>\u003Cspan> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cspan>In low light, a kitty’s eyes can make do with a fraction of the illumination your eyes would need to see clearly.
