Cat Quote of the Day:

Kittens are born with their eyes shut. They open them in about six days, take a look around, then close them again for the better part of their lives.

eye of the tiger

The cats cornea has two kinds of cell receptors 
The cone cells for color and the rod cells for contrasts, same as in the human eyes.
Cats eyes has more cone cells than in our eyes, so they see better at night, and in low light, but they have less rod cells so they cant see details like us.
