They can see in the dark.
Cats also have a mirror like membrane on the back of their eyes called a Tapetum.
It reflects the light passing through the rods... back through the rods a second time, this time in the opposite direction. The combination of elliptical pupils and the Tapetum permit cats to see extremely well in near darkness.
The picture on the left is how a human would see in near darkness and on the right, how a cat would see. In low light, like night, color and hue are not perceived, only black, white and shades of gray.
Cats have both rods and cones in the retina. Rods are the receptors that the eye uses for night time viewing and sudden movement. Cones are used during the daytime and process color information. Cats have more rods than cones, as compared with humans, making cat night and motion vision superior to humans.

Dogs have a lot more rods then humans.
