The cat`s eye has extra light reflective layer in it to reflect even the dimmest of light to enable a cat to see in total darkness. The above is mostly correct, Actually no animal can see in total darkness, at least not with its eyes, Cats can see in 'near' total darkness. other animals that have the same reflective layer behind the retina (allowing the retina to detect nearly twice the number of photons as originally entered the eye) are: deer, dogs, raccoon, opossum, skunk, armadillo, there is several more.
