Cats have a layer of specialized cells in their eyes called tapetum lucidum that reflects light, allowing them to see better in low light conditions. When their eyes flash in the dark, it's the light reflecting off the tapetum lucidum, helping them to see in the dark by maximizing any available light.

Cats' eyes have a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum that helps them see better in low light. In the dark, their eyes may appear to glow or shine due to this layer reflecting incoming light. Their pupils also dilate to let in more light, giving them better night vision.

As a cats eye pupils dilate in the dark, letting in more light, they are very good at seeing in the dark.
Well... I only had 2 cats in my life time whitch wasn't very long because I am younger then 15 so back to the question! I used to have a male tabby and his eyes glowed in the dark... Then again I had a flash light haha cats eyes glow when it's dark and when you flash a flashlight/any light source at them! Haha I am a huge kitty lover
No. Reading in the dark will strain you eyes. If you have a booklight or a flash light that will work and then you can get the eery effect without straining your eyes.

Their eyes aren't glowing but, they are reflecting light which causes them to have the appearance of a glow. The light reflects in this way because cats can see in the dark. They need this ability because they are nocturnal. Cats have amazing night vision and this is because of their pupil shape and the ability of the pupils to dilate so large.
Brown cats usually come in tabby types. There can be dark brown, which is like a very dark orange, or a pale brown, which is a little like cream color, which is like the normal color of a Siamese cat. The only kind of cat that can have blue eyes are white cats. If there is a white cat with blue eyes, he/she can be blind, deaf or both. Siamese cats can also have blue eyes. Those are the only two breeds that Vicki and I, the vets, know of with blue eyes.
