Do animals like the dark?

It depends on what type of animal it is. If it is nocturnal it will love the dark. An example for a nocturnal animal is an owl. It sleeps during the day and hunts and stays up during the night. That is how nocturnal animals are described. But if you compare a cat with an owl in this situation, an owl likes the dark more than the cat. =)

Will tell you tomorrow cos now they are in the dark and I have left new toys around their cage to play with, and they haven't seen them in daylight.

Why can humans see better in the dark than animals?

Cats and dogs can't see in total darkness. However, cats and dogs do see better in dim light due to a special layer found behind their retinas. It's called the tapetum and it reflects light back to the cones of the retina making better use of the available light. A cat's eye specifically has a vertical slit which allows minimal light in during the day and opens fully at night. (A dog's eye and human eyes do the same thing but their iris's are round). The tapetum can be seen at night when you shine a light into a cat's or dog's eyes. Humans do not possess a tapetum and therefore can't process reflective light. We have to hunt for our prey during daylight.Cats can see perfect in the dark. Dogs can see int he dark, but not as good as cats can.
