About 'large domestic cat'|Big Cats of Serenity Springs: Sanctuary for Non-Domestic Cats – East of Colorado Springs








Some               say               your               pet               cat               is               simply               a               miniature               version               of               a               big               cat.

Sometimes               you               believe               it               when               you               see               her               stalking               a               bird               or               mouse.

Although               your               cat               and               the               big               chats               share               many               common               features,               there               are               some               differences               as               well.

You               may               have               already               heard               that               the               big               cats               don't               purr               and               the               small               cats               don't               roar.

So               how               about               their               eyes?

Do               they               work               the               same?

Well,               yes               and               no....

Yes
               Both               big               and               small               cats'               eyes               are               designed               for               night               time               activities.

They               are,               after               all,               both               nocturnal               predators               by               nature.

Whether               it's               a               tiger               in               the               forest               or               a               tomcat               in               the               alley,               their               eyes               will               shine               in               what               seems               to               be               the               dark               to               us.

However,               there               must               be               some               light               in               order               for               the               shine               to               occur.

Behind               the               retina,               cats               have               a               mirror-like               film               called               tapetum               lucidum               which               catches               even               small               amounts               of               light               and               reflects               it               back-hence               the               shine.

Behind               the               human               retina               is               a               black               film               so               light               is               absorbed               rather               than               reflected.

Due               in               part               to               the               reflective               power               of               the               tapetum               lucidum,               cats               only               need               1/6               the               light               that               we               need               to               see               in               "the               dark".
               No
               Another               unique               feature               of               a               cat's               eye               is               the               large               pupil.

In               daylight,               the               pupil               appears               to               be               a               thin               vertical               slit               of               black               in               your               pet               cat.

However,               the               big               cats'               pupils               become               a               small               circular               drop               of               black               similar               to               ours               during               daylight.

Small               cats'               eyes               expand               proportionally               to               a               much               greater               surface               area               of               the               eye.

Without               the               slit               shape               pupil,               your               cat               would               be               overwhelmed               by               bright               light               and               unable               to               focus.
               To               see               the               differences               in               the               pupil               shape,               try               doing               a               Google               Image               search               for               tiger               eyes               (or               lion               eyes)               and               then               a               second               one               for               domestic               cat               eyes.

You               can               really               see               the               difference               when               you               look               close               up               at               these               small               and               large               cat               eyes.
               Although               our               pet               cats               share               much               in               common               with               the               big               cats,               there               are               some               small               differences               which               have               helped               them               to               adapt               to               our               shared               world.
