Possibly a kinda silly question that we don't have any way of knowing for sure but... Can cats tell we can't see in the dark as well as them? Can they make the association between the amount of light and how it relates to how much we stumble around down the hall trying to get to the bathroom?

It’s unlikely that cats realize that we can’t see in the dark as well as they do. They do recognize that we are not good hunters, which is why cats will often bring “gifts” of prey to their owners.

I think it really shows how smart cats are when they learn to make eye contact because that's a key part of human communication, not feline communication

I love my cat

So, I'm laying in bed, and she's sitting on my pillow, grooming herself, and I look at her and say, "You know, you know me better than most people, and yet you stay in arms reach."  She stops dead, slowly turns her head to look at me, looks back to the leg she was cleaning, looks at me again, and gets up to go eat her food a good 10-15 feet away from me.  XD
