CATS ARE CREPUSCULAR CREATURES, MEANING THEY ARE MOST ACTIVE DURING THE TWILIGHT HOURS OF DAWN AND DUSK WHEN LIGHT LEVELS ARE NATURALLY LOWER. THEIR REMARKABLE NIGHT VISION, AIDED BY A SPECIALIZED LAYER OF CELLS KNOWN AS THE TAPETUM LUCIDUM POSITIONED BEHIND THE RETINA, PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THEIR ABILITY TO THRIVE IN THESE DIMLY LIT ENVIRONMENTS. THIS UNIQUE LAYER REFLECTS INCOMING LIGHT, EFFECTIVELY GIVING CATS A SECOND CHANCE TO UTILIZE THE SAME LIGHT PHOTONS, THEREBY ENHANCING THEIR CAPACITY TO SEE CLEARLY IN LOW-LIGHT CONDITIONS. THIS ADAPTATION IS INTEGRAL TO THEIR PROWESS IN BOTH HUNTING AND NAVIGATING DURING THESE TRANSITIONAL PERIODS, ALIGNING PERFECTLY WITH THEIR INNATE HUNTING INSTINCTS.
