Why Do Cat Eyes Glow?

Do you know why cats' eyes glow in the dark? It's because they have a special membrane called tapetum lucidum which reflects light. This membrane is located behind the retina and it makes their eyes shine in low light conditions. Cats are nocturnal animals, so this helps them see better at night by reflecting any available light back to their retinas. Evolution is a fascinating thing, isn't it? #catseyes #cats #cat #catlife #catlover #meow #catoftheday #catlovers #lovecats #kitty #catseye #blackcat #catsmeow #kitten #pets #world #catspam #mycat
