Answer:

The vision remains unaffected.

Explanation:

Rods and cones are two types of photo receptor cells present in the organism. Cone cell helps in the visualization of color whereas rod cells are involved in the light intensity.

The cat was stuck in the neighbor's cellar with enough food and water. The cat was stuck in the basement with pitch-black but this does not affect the vision of cat. Cats are nocturnal animals and has large amount of rod cells that enable them to see at night. Thus, her vision remains unaffected.
