The average cat is believed to have a visual acuity between 20/100 and 20/200.  Simply put, cats are nearsighted.

Cats can see color, but they do not have as many color-sensitive photoreceptors as humans. Colors that would appear to be very rich to us are more pastel-like to the cat.  Cats respond to the blue and yellow wavelengths best, but have trouble with green and red.  What appears to us as “red” is simply “dark” to cats.  A fraction of the green spectrum in cats is indistinguishable from white.  Cats would see a green, grassy lawn as a whitish lawn, and a green rosebush with red roses would appear as a whitish bush with dark flowers.  Cats, however, are very good at distinguishing many different shades of gray.

“Without free will, sinners and criminals would be nothing more than poorly calibrated clockwork, and any conception of justice that emphasized punishing them (rather than deterring, rehabilitating, or merely containing them) would appear utterly incongruous. And those of us who work hard and follow the rules would not ‘deserve’ our success in any deep sense. It is not an accident that most people find these conclusions abhorrent. The stakes are high.”
