Why do cat eyes glow in the dark?
The Hindu·1d ago·Neutral
What Happened
Cat eyes appear to glow in darkness due to a reflective layer behind their retinas. When light from headlights, torches, or camera flashes hits their eyes, the light reflects back. This reflection creates the distinctive glowing effect people observe. The phenomenon occurs because cats have a special anatomical structure that enhances night vision and light reflection.
