Is an eye luminous?

No. Eyes are not luminous. They observe or perceive light but they do not emit light. Luminous means "emit light." There are various species of animals, such as deer, cats, and dogs, whose eyes have the ability to reflect light which sometimes make them appear to glow in the dark as they reflect a flashlight, headlight, or other light that is shining in their direction. But even then, the eyes do not produce their own light so they are not luminous.

What are cats eyes for in the dark?

Cats' eyes are for seeing. If a cat didn't have eyes, it would have a difficult time doing this. Cats cannot see in true darkness. However, they do see rather better in low-light conditions than humans do. One (of several) reasons for this is that they have a reflective layer in their eyes that basically acts as a mirror to send light back through the retina a second time. This is also why their eyes appear to glow in the dark... they're actually reflecting a small portion of the light that comes into their eyes back out again. Normally you don't notice this much, but it's more obvious when their surroundings are dark.
