How humans & cats see things at night.

How humans & cats see things at night.
I downloaded a frequency generator app on Google Play for my Samsung A74.  It only goes up to 22 kHz, but my three cats are giving me strange looks and their ears swivel like they are mounted on little rotating platforms when I use it to generate tones that I cannot hear.   I found this image to be particularly cool:

And, so, if you were a cat, how would your view of the World be similar and different than as a H. Sapien?  Would you be willing to be a house cat for a day or longer?

Well, I already scratch up the furniture, ignore most people who talk to me, and sleep at odd hours.

That whole shitting-in-a-box thing is kind of a deal breaker, though…

RE: How humans & cats see things at night.
Having been a cat owner for over 10 years, the "wiping" part is, of course, accomplished by other cats. I am not sure how single cats deal with that, especially, if they are obese and can't reach. It seems like a pleasant experience for them, though, but, I can't speak from experience, not being a cat.
