    A quick search shows that squirrels have quite good vision at short to medium distances (up to ~10m) during daylight, with a wide field of view (common in prey animals) and excellent depth perception. Their colour vision isn’t up to human standards, however, and their night vision isn’t that great. So yeah, they’d have a clear concept of the distance and direction to the next tree branch or a nearby cat as long as the light was good.
