Because humanoid apes/hominidae which evolved to humans had white sclera..

I don’t think that is the reason. (You seem very fond of claiming bizarre reasons for things.)

Also cats have better vision some respects (eg night vision) but not others (resolution, colour, etc)

One theory is that it was an evolutionary group advantage to a see where another individual is looking or how he is feeling. Seeing the white helps.
