Randi, one thing I do remember them saying in the program about sight was that, while their vision was such that they could see well in dim light, they could not focus as "acutely" as humans - they used the example of us reading a book - the cat could not focus sharply enough to see that much detail, but the extra light reception helps them detect movement far away and in dimly lit environs...also, it talked about how sensitive the pawpads and whiskers were...that if someone were going to build a "perfect predator" that they had only to look at the cat for the ideal design!
