WHY DO A CAT'S EYES GLOW IN THE DARK?

People who own and love cats consider them to be sweet little creatures and wonderful pets. But cats
are members of a family of animals of a very special kind. These include tigers, lions, leopards
and, of course, the domesticated cat.
No matter where they live, no matter what their size and appearance, all cats are alike in many
ways. All have bodies adapted for hunting and killing. All are highly specialized beasts of prey.
One of the things that helps a cat to be a good hunter is its eyes. The cat's eyes are adapted for seeing
in the dark, since it does most of its hunting at night. During the day the pupils of the eyes
contract to slits, or very small openings. But at night they open wide, letting in every bit of light
possible.
The backs of the eyes are coated with a substance like polished silver. It reflects every bit of light
that co mes into the eye. That is why a cat's eyes shine like glowing lanterns if you point a
flashlight toward them at night.
What are other things about the cat that make it a great hunter? In the front of its mouth the cat has
four long, pointed Canine teeth, deadly weapons for biting and tearing flesh. On its feet the cat has
an arsenal of needle-sharp, curved claws. To follow its prey silently, there are soft pads the bottom of
its feet. And the cat has unusually keen sight, hearing, and smell.
