Which feature of a cat's eye is primarily responsible for their superior vision in low-light conditions, crucial for crepuscular hunting?

Cats possess a high concentration of rod cells in their retinas, which are photoreceptor cells extremely sensitive to low light levels. This, along with the tapetum lucidum (a reflective layer behind the retina that causes eyeshine), significantly enhances their night vision, vital for hunting at dawn and dusk. While their pupils dilate significantly, it's the abundance of rods that primarily enables light sensitivity. They don't filter blue light for this purpose, and while some UV perception may exist, it's not the primary feature for their excellent low-light hunting vision.
