Why do cats eyes reflect at night?
Because cats are closely related to lions and tigers. Lions and tigers are hunters, so their eyes reflect in darkness to hunt prey, even in dim light. Domestic cats are hunters, too, and they related to lions and tigers, so their eyes reflect in the dark.
Cat's eye vs humans eyes?
It can see better, and it has a tapetum lucidum in the back of its eyes which reflects light and makes their eyes appear to glow in the dark. Their pupils adjust to get more light and see better in the dark.

Does light make a tiger's eye glow in the dark?
Tigers, as with all cats, have a reflective layer behind the retina. This allows them to use the light twice in the retina, making it much easier to see at night. When cat's eyes appear to glow, you are seeing the escaping reflected light from this surface.
Is this a metaphor her dark eyes made a little reflected stars?
In a phrase which is not grammatically correct such as the above, it's kind of difficult to tell.If the meaning you were going for is along the lines of "her dark eyes reflected the stars" it's not a metaphor.If the meaning you were going for is more like "the light reflected from her dark eyes like stars" that's also not a metaphor, it's a very similar concept called a simile.If you were going for something like "The reflections from her dark eyes were stars in the night", then yes, that's a metaphor.

Why can you sometimes see an image on a dark window but not on a dark wall?
Among the light rays falling on the window, some get reflected and others get refracted. If some of the reflected rays reach your eyes, you would be able to see the image. But a dark wall would absorb all rays.

How do animals eyes glow in the dark?
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.
Is the reason you cant see in the dark that there isn't any light to reflect off the objects in the room?
Yes. The only reason you can see anything is because of light and reflected light. If there is no light, then your eyes don't detect anything. Our eyes work like cameras. When there is little to no light, cameras cannot focus on or "see" anything, just like our eyes.
