Cat Eye Care Advice
The eyes of your feline friends have often been used on horror films. But if you are a pet owner, you will know that the cats stare is really the opposite of what’s being portrayed on films. That is why you have to know the importance of cat eye care.
I Love You
How do cats say these words, i love you? Through their eyes, of course. That is why you shouldn’t be frightened by that stare. How does this work? First, the cat stares at you for a long time. and after that, it blinks its eyes slowly. Some people tag this as a cat’s kiss. But you can as well say that this is your cats way of saying that it loves you.
But how do you return the favour? Simple, just follow your cats lead. Stare at it for a long time and then slowly blink your eyes. See? Cats eyes can also be used as elements for romantic films.
Not a Third Eye
Do not believe the horror films you see. Cats do not and never have had a third eye. Their eye sight is really far better than a humans. Instead of a third eye, what cats have is a third eyelid. This is called a nictitating membrane.
This inner eyelid protects the eyes of the cats from harm and as well from dryness. You will notice that when a cat is sick, this membrane will somewhat close. This should alarm you to call the veterinary surgeon or get your cat to them fast.
But this third eyelid will also show once a cat is happy. So you will know what kind of mood your cat is in just by looking at the membrane.
The Pupil
You should always observe the pupil of your feline friend. A change in size of one of the pupils can frequently be an indication of an inflammation. It can also be a sign of a kind of a neurologic disorder, this is called Horner’s Syndrome. Or worse, it can also suggest tumors or injuries in the central nervous system.
The Nocturnal Vision
Do not believe what others say that cats are color blind. They do see some colors. They may not see as clear as humans do, but it’s not like that they cannot see any colors at all.
Cats can also see clearly over long distances. There vision is very different from peoples. Their vision will be blurry if they are looking at objects that are very close to them.
Yes it is true, cats do have nocturnal vision. But they can not see in complete darkness. Do you see the muscles on their iris that surround the pupils of their eyes? They are made in a way that it narrows into a vertical split when they are exposed in the bright lights. And it opens fully when they are in a dim light.
This feature of the cat may be traced back to their roots. They can use this feature to hunt for food during the night, that is if they were left out in the jungle or left with no one to care for them.
So you must forget about the horror flicks that you have seen. Now it is time to put some effort into your cats eye care. Never let a minor ailment worsen. Always call your veterinary straightaway when you think there is something not right or amiss. You do not want your cat to lose their sight or even worse lose their lives. Just remember it is always better to be safe than blind.
