Cats can't see in total darkness but in near total darkness, they can see with the help of a tiny amount of light.

Not in a closed up closet or something, but "total darkness" usually isn't total, and our pupils expand greatly so they can see reasonably well. We probably have more sensitive eyes than people, too, so as to manage better in the dark than humans do.

No, they can't.
The cat's vision is exceptionally well adapted for hunting, especially at night. It has excellent night vision; extensive peripheral vision; and binocular vision, which enables it to accurately judge distances. The cat's daylight vision is not as good as that of humans; cats see movement much more easily than detail, and are thought to see only a limited range of colors.

No, but they can see in light levels much much lower than we can, so it might appear (to us) to be totally dark.

They can’t. No animal possesses the ability to give light. But they have the sensitive hearing...
