Cats And Their Big Round Eyes



The closest feature cats have to humans is their breathtaking, round, big eyes. It often reminds us of babies. The feature makes them inviting, captivating, enchanting, and just beautiful. Sometimes, no words can define how cats’ eyes are.


Little did we know that their eyes are naturally big because they need them for hunting. We often see the slit-like part in their eyes, which they use to adjust their vision, especially when it is dark. During the night, the vision of cats is 6x better than humans. They use this advantage to hunt prey and live the lifestyle of a hunter.


The eyes of cats are also quick in detecting motion. They can see as quickly as 0.4 cm per second. It makes them sensitive to their environment. Cats are on the list of animals with forward-facing eyes. This feature allows them to have stereoscopic vision.
