The Fact About Cat Eye

The Fact About Cat Eye

• A cat's vision is superior at night in comparison to humans, and inferior in daylight.
• Cats have a third eyelid, the nictitating membrane, which is a thin cover that closes from the side and appears when the cat's eyelid opens.
• Unlike humans, cats do not need to blink their eyes on a regular basis to keep their eyes lubricated. Cats will, however, "squint" their eyes, usually as a form of communication.
• Cats have an elliptical pupil, which opens & closes much faster than round types as in humans.

About Cat Hairballs

When your cat grooms itself, their tongue is picking up any loose hair with those barbs on the tongue. Then the hair gets swallowed and it travels down into the cat's stomach, which cannot be digested by the cat's stomach. As more and more hair accumulates in the cat's stomach it gets packed in there and thus gets vomited out.
Some of the features of the cat's hairball as mentioned above are mostly made up of cat fur along with their food (what they have ate) and the slimy mucus that ends up on your floor! Sometimes you might even get that wonderful surprise in the middle of the night going to the bathroom, when you step on it with your bare foot! Yea! The color of the hairball depends, of course, on the color of the cat's food you feed them and the actual color of the cat's fur. The hairball can be orange or light tan in color and as time goes on it can be brown, grey, black or brick red. The hairball can be circular or tubular in shape.
