EYES THAT GLOW IN THE DARK

My eyes are glowing like Christmas tree lights!  I'm off to the left of this picture peeking over the edge of my Sleepypod.  When it's dark or getting dark, if I look directly into a light or a flash of light, my eyes shine!  All cats' eyes glow at night when a light shines on them.  So do the eyes of dogs, deer & other night-time animals. We have a special reflective layer at the back of our eyeballs called the tapetum lucidum.
