One of the most remarkable and intense aspects of a cat is the eyes. There\u2019s something mesmerizing about a cat\u2019s eyes. You\u2019re attracted to them. When a cat looks at you, you can\u2019t look away. You sometimes feel drawn into those eyes. They\u2019re just fascinating.<\/p>\n
Cat eyes, like human eyes, come in different shapes, ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Lilyclose4-225x300.jpg\")
sizes, and colors. Lily had the largest round eyes\u2014they almost took up her whole face. Sophie\u2019s eyes are kind of squinty and Olivia has smaller round eyes. But no matter the size, shape or color, boy can cats use their eyes to express their mood. And you\u2019ve probably noticed that the eye color can also change\u2014with the lighting, of course, but did you know that the eye color can change by mood. One expert ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Molly1-e1559130247221-225x300.jpg\")
claims that a mellow, happy cat\u2019s eyes might appear a shade darker than they do when they’re stressed. We\u2019re all going to be watching our cat\u2019s eyes this afternoon, right?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s widely known that cats can see much better in the ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/lilyeyes1-300x225.jpg\")
dark than we can. And they don\u2019t understand why we step on them or trip over them at night. They see us, why can\u2019t we see them. Yeah, especially if you have dark-colored cats, you have to use a ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/pg-8-katie-eyes-300x212.jpg\")
nightlight or bedside light when you walk around at night.<\/p>\n
Did you know that scientists consider a cat\u2019s eyes similar to humans? They\u2019ve even used cats to study how the human eye and the![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/karens-kitties-021-300x225.jpg\")
brain work together. If you\u2019ve ever wondered, yes cats can see color, but the ability is much diminished by human standards. In fact their close-up vision isn\u2019t very sharp, but they can see much better than we can in the distance. Experts say that while our vision is 20\/20, a cat\u2019s might be more like 20\/100.<\/p>\n
Cats eyes are expressive. Along with their ears and whiskers and stance, their eyes are quite revealing when it comes to a cat\u2019s mood. My favorite expression in a cat\u2019s eyes is the eye-kiss. You know, that slow blink he does when he\u2019s staring lovingly at you.<\/p>\n
