Cat eyes are so beautiful, colorful, and can change very fast. Ever noticed a cat's eyes and wondered what always looks different?
The pupils are dilated and enormous, and after a while, they are so retracted that you can see a thin line.
What happens is that the our pupil dilates or contracts according to the light amount present, allowing better visualization of the environment. That is why that during the day when there is more light, the pupil is like a line, and in the darkness is more rounded.
However, we cats see less when there is more light. Felines have nocturnal hunting habits, our eyes have the intelligence to judge better in dark environments. Our eyes can gather minimal amounts of light existing in an environment.
Dilated pupils: When the cat is relaxed, alive, and playful. In some cases, it can say focus or attention.
Pupils retracted: When the place in which we cats are is too bright, or in situations of conflict or aggressive state.
Cats are very routine, so pay attention to every change in behavior. In some cases, the pupils of cats are constantly dilated can indicate an illness.
Cats with one pupil dilated and another contracted at the same time, or simply in different sizes, can still indicate some problem. Take him to the vet if this is the case.
Sometimes when Samuel wakeup, very few times that we noticed, he shows one pupil different from the other, we ask our vet and were calmed down, must probably be light and the waking up process. Cause it went back to normal after a few minutes. But if happens constantly, be alert. Can be an illness.
The first time we noticed that we went studies about cat pupils and learned these interesting facts.
When a cat greets another cat or is with slow, languid winks, it is communicating affection. This countenance is still customary as the “kiss of the cat”.
In the feline universe, closing one's eyes on the existence of another being is the first mark of trust.
By gently winking at your cat, you are communicating that you are aware of their presence and not acting like a threat.
So the next time your cat winks at you, try to reply the blink.
The most important lesson we learned from the vet is to pay attention to the minimum details from your cat routine. A little change can sign something is wrong with them.
Hope you like it.
