No, a cat's eye is not a source of light unlike some animals, for example, fireflies.
A cat's eye only reflects back some of the incoming light. This reflective layer is behind the nerve cells that detect light and allows them a second chance to react to light. As you may have noticed, a lot of light comes back out.

Are cats eyes a light source?
well they eyes are like our eyes they can get blind
Starting with light source describe the path the light must travel to reach your eye?
The light moves from the source in a straight line to an object and then moves into the back of your eye to your retina.
What is related to the amount of light seen?
The intensity of light that reaches the eye is related to the amount of light seen. This can be influenced by factors such as distance from the light source, obstructions in the light path, and the light source's brightness. The eye's sensitivity to light also plays a role in how much light is perceived.
Why do cats eye expand at night?
Cats eyes expand at night because They are bringing in more light to see into their eyes
How do cats see in dim light?
cats can see in dim light because when a little amount of light enters the eye, a piece at the very back of the eye acts like a mirror and reflects the vision to a piece of muscle just at the back of the eye and they would get a better sight of what's around them. (interesting fact about cats : did you know that some cat's eyes can glow in the dark?)
Do cats have corneas?
Yes, cats have corneas. The cornea is the transparent outer layer of the eye that helps to protect the eye and allows light to enter. It plays a crucial role in vision by refracting light onto the lens.
Why does the middle of the eye get huge then small?
the pupil focuses the light from the source to the eye and the darker it is, the more it has to focus.
What distance is the light brightest dimmest?
The closer a light source is to your eye, the brighter it appears - intensity included. The closer you are to the source, the larger the angle of the cone; your pupil as the base and the source as the point. The larger the angle from the point, the more light entering your eye. Too close to the source and your retinal area becomes the limiting factor.
Are cats eyes cats eyes?
Yes, Cats eyes, are 'cats eyes' although their eyes aren't the same as maybe the marble 'cats eye', only in bright light- i suppose they are just eyes though
Why do cats have such good night vision?

Why are cats eyes used for seeing in the dark?
As a cats eye pupils dilate in the dark, letting in more light, they are very good at seeing in the dark.
How many lenses does the light pass through between the light source and your eye?
how does light effect your eye? In a compound light microscope? The light passes through three lenses between the light source and your eye. The first lens is the condenser lens.. The second lens is the objective lens. The third and final lens is the Eyepiece, also known as, the ocular lens. This is the lens you look through. These are the lenses that light must pass through to get from the light source to your eye.
