ITT Cats with glowing eyes. My friend Tina and my creepy cat in the pic.
Those aren't glowing eyes. They're just reflecting light from the room directly into the camera.

Out of curiosity, and pardon my ignorance, does anyone here know why cats' eyes are so reflective? When you take a picture of some human's eyes, they don't reflect much light, they just turn red. D:

>>76513It helps their night vision.
>>76513Though I don't know the details of why it is definitely because of their night vision.If you think about it, any animal with superior vision in the dark will also have highly reflective eyes.
>>76513There is a membrane of really reflective stuff inside the eye called the tapetum lucidum. It helps with nightvision - I think the reflectiveness amplifies what little light there is and makes it easier for them to see in low light, or something like that.Lots of animals have it; I saw it a couple of years ago when we dissected cow eyes in my anatomy class. Pic is of a dissected cow eye, showing the tapetum lucidum.
ew eyes><
The reflective layer is behind the layer of cells that detect light. This means that most of the light that enters the eye passes through the layer of light sensitive cells twice, improving vision in low light.
