Cats don't see the world exactly the way humans see it. In low light conditions, felines can see their surroundings better than people. However, in good lighting conditions, the cat's eye distinguishes details much worse than the human eye.
A cat's eyes are relatively close to each other, so each eye sees approximately the same picture. The brain superimposes one image on top of another, thereby giving a three-dimensional view of the world around us - this effect is called binocular vision.
As for cows, horses and other animals, whose eyes are set on either side of the head, they see two separate pictures that overlap each other only slightly. That is, it does not smell like the effect of stereoscopic vision.
Some Siamese cats have problems with overlay images due to a defect in the transmission of nerve impulses from the eye to the brain. This leads to the appearance of the so-called double vision. To correct the effect, the cat has to squint its eyes.
Previously, it was believed that felines see color exclusively in shades of gray, however, as a result of a number of studies, this statement has been refuted. The limited number of conical nerve endings in the retina of cat's eyes still gives their owners a certain degree of color vision. Cats' eyes are sensitive to blue and green, but not red. So the eyesight of our tailed and mustachioed pets, although colored, is not as perfect as that of humans.
