Cat. Cats have an elliptical pupil which opens & closes much faster than round types (dogs/humans) and allows for a much larger pupil size. This in turn allows more light to enter the eye, giving the cat better night vision, not better in darkness but better at picking up light. No animal can naturally see in the pitch black but a cat can see better in minimal light.

What are the differences between the structure and function of dog eyes versus cat eyes?

Dog eyes and cat eyes have different structures and functions. Dog eyes have a larger field of vision and better night vision due to a higher number of rod cells. Cat eyes have a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum, which enhances their night vision. Cats also have a wider range of motion in their pupils, allowing them to see better in low light conditions.

How do the differences between dog vision and cat vision impact their ability to see in low light conditions?

Dogs have better night vision than cats because they have more rod cells in their eyes, which are sensitive to low light. Cats, on the other hand, have more cone cells, which are better for seeing in bright light but not as effective in low light conditions. This means that dogs can see better in the dark compared to cats.
