Why do cats eyes shines at night?

Cat's Eyes

Most of us have seen a cat’s eyes glowing beside the road at night.  The glow is simply a reflection of a car’s headlight.  The back of a cat’s eye is lined with a special mirror-like material called “tapetum.”  

This shiny layer helps the cat to see in dim light by catching even the faintest gleam of light and concentrating it on the retina.  It also reflects the light of a car’s headlights and causes the cat’s eyes to glow brightly.  

The cat’s special kind of eyesight allows it to do most of its hunting at night.  A cat cannot see in complete darkness any more than we are.  – Dick Rogers

What Kind Of Cat Is A Manx?

Manx 

Manx cats are the only cats born without tails.  They run with a hopping, rabbit like gait, because of their long hind legs. 

Have you ever seen a cat running with no tail and a sort of hopping like a rabbit?   Such a cat is the Manx.  The Manx cat is very strange one as it is the only cat born without a tail.

Its hind legs are longer than the front ones, giving it a hopping gait when running.  A Manx can run faster than most other kinds of cats.

The ancestors of the Manx can came from the Isle of Man, a British Island in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland.  The first cats on the Isle of Man swam ashore from sinking Spanish ships some 400 years ago.

Many says that the story of how they got to be tailless.  One says that these cats loitered on the way into the Ark, and Noah slammed the door on their tails.  Another says that a Manx is the result of a rabbit mating with a cat.  The truth is most likely that this cat lost their tails as a result of a quirk of nature.–Dick Rogers
