I think it’s misleading to represent what a cat sees without reference to how the cat’s brain interprets what its eyes see.
The eye’s perceptions may seem awful to us but I would expect a cat brain does very well with the information. If not, the species wouldn’t be here, perceiving reality so poorly.

I know they have better eyesight than we do. If I hold my cat and open the back door at night and his muscles stiffen I know a raccoon or another animal is coming our direction in the hedges even though it is dark and I can’t see it.
