Eye-opening Comparison Shows Us That Cats Don't See The World The Same Way As Humans
This fascinating series was created by artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm. He compared the ways in which humans and cats perceive the world.
In each comparison, there is a scene presented in two ways. The top image is more colorful and lively, showing what humans see, while the bottom image is a bleak and blurry representation from a cat's perspective.
Lamm conducted extensive research to create this project in collaboration with doctors from the All Animal Eye Clinic, the Ophthalmology Group at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School, and the Animal Eye Institute. He aimed to ensure that his depiction of feline vision is as accurate as possible.
Lamm learned a great deal from his research, including the fact that cats see 6 to 8 times better than humans do at night, have a slightly larger visual field, and possess visual acuity ranging from 20/100 to 20/200, while the ideal is 20/20. Even though cats cannot truly enjoy a beautiful panoramic view, the series illustrates that both cats and humans have vision adapted for survival and function.
Immediately, you can notice that cats have a larger field of vision.
Cats don't get to enjoy the beautiful colors of nature like we do.
It must be hard for cats to recognize different people.
A beautiful view... if you're not a cat.
Cats can see much better at night, though.
