A tabby-and-white cat walks through a forest at night, passing moss-covered tree stumps and clusters of mushrooms that glow in red and green. Fireflies emitting white and green light fly above, while orange-glowing bracket fungi can be seen on the trees.
On one of its forays beyond its own territory, the cat has arrived at a spot illuminated by fireflies and bioluminescent mushrooms. While there may not actually be that much light, this is perhaps how a cat might perceive it; thanks to its highly light-sensitive pupils and a reflective layer at the back of its eyes, a cat sees as well as we would under lighting ten to twenty times brighter. That said, cats do not perceive much color at night—in fact, they cannot distinguish between green and red even during the day (though they can see blue, as well as ultraviolet light, which allows them to visually track the scent trails left by mice).
