                   Cats and Sunburn

Cats normally like to bask in sunshine, but in very hot
weather cats have been known to get sunburned. We all know
how painful this can be and cats can experience the same
pain. Sunburn usually affects cats with lighter coats, but
all cats can suffer especially in areas where the coat is
thinner such as the nose, tips of the ears and the tummy.

At least as mentioned this is painful, but prolonged
exposure can cause a form of cancer known as squamous
cell carcinoma. Early signs of this include sores that
don’t heal and or keep bleeding. Treatment is generally
by surgery or chemotherapy. Although cats generally like
to sit in the sun, precautions can be taken in hot sunny
conditions by the application of cat sunscreens on ears
and noses.

How Well Do Cats See?

Cats can see almost as well as humans can, and at times
better. Cat vision is designed for detecting motion, use-
ful for hunting. Like humans, cats have binocular vision,
although not as well tuned as in humans. This means a cat
most likely sees in 3-D, as do humans, which is very use-
ful for judging distance. Cats appear to be slightly near-
sighted, which would suggest their vision is tailored more
for closer objects, such as for hunting, that can capture
within running distance. Objects farther than several
hundred yards rarely interest a cat. Cats have the ability
to jump from as much as 6 feet onto a narrow window ledge
without touching the window. This would require not only
excellent balance, but also precise distance judgment.
Cats have both rods and cones in the retina. Rods are the
receptors that the eye uses for night time viewing and
sudden movement. Cones are used during the daytime, and
process color information. Cats have more rods than cones,
as compared with humans, making cat night and motion vision
superior to humans. In low light, like night, color and hue
are not perceived, only black, white and shades of gray.
Cats have an elliptical pupil which opens and closes much
faster than round types and allows for a much larger pupil
size. This allows more light to enter the eye. Cats also
have a mirror like membrane on the back of their eyes
called a Tapetum. It reflects the light passing through
the rods… back through the rods a second time, this time
in the opposite direction. The result is a double exposure
of the light, which permit cats to see well in near dark-
ness. Although a cat cannot see in total darkness, a partly
cloudy night sky with some stars will provide enough light
for cats to hunt and see movement, even in the cover of
most brush. At nigh, a cat relies on it’s extremely sensi-
tive hearing and directional ear movement to locate the
general position of prey, then targets and captures the
prey using it’s keen eyesight. The yellowish glow you see
when you shine a light into cat eyes at night, is really
your light reflecting off the Tapetum membrane.

– FROM THE “CAT SCRAPS” FILE:

“Of all God’s creatures there is only one that cannot
be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat.
If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve
man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” — Mark Twain
