Because when light is focused onto the retina by the lens, in a human eye the retina will take in the light and transform it into electrical signals, but animals have a layer at the back of their eye called the tapetum which reflects the light rays back through the retina for a second time. This means they pick up things from the light rays that the human eye misses. The tapetum is also the reason that sometimes when you look into an animals eye and apply sudden light to it you see colour, this happens because the iris doesn't have enough time to contract so all the light gets in and some of it reflects off the tapetum back through the retina. This same thing happens in the human eye and causes the red eye effect, but because humans have no tapetum it's the blood vessels that the light reflects off. The tapetum is different colours for different species.

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.

Some animals, like cats and owls, have exceptional night vision capabilities that far surpass those of humans.

Animals generally have better night vision than humans due to adaptations in their eyes, such as larger pupils and more rod cells. This allows them to see better in low light conditions.
How many animals can see more colors than humans?
Probably because animals aren't the same as us. They evolve from other creatures from us and the animals they evolved from may have had better sight than us.
Do cats see better than humans?
In the general sense no. In the day time humans have the ability to see better. If you are talking strictly about night vision, than yes. Cats are nocturnal animals, hence their night vision in superb
