Cats have very big eyes. If they are close to petting a cat, the cat shoveler will occasionally find that the cat's pupils will shrink significantly. So what does it mean to shrink the cat's pupils? Sometimes you even find that the cat's pupils shrink and cannot return for a period of time. What is the situation? In fact, there are generally three reasons for cat pupil shrinkage.
1. Strong light
The function of the cat's pupil is to control the amount of light entering the eyes from the outside world. When the ambient light is relatively strong, in order to control the amount of light inlet, the cat's pupil will shrink. On the contrary, when the ambient light is weak, the cat's pupils will expand. As long as the cat has nothing to do with other abnormalities, the shrinking of the pupil is generally a normal physiological phenomenon, and the owner only needs to dim the light.
2. Angry
If the cat's pupils shrink, its body arches, hairs all over the body, and a sharp chirping, the cat may be angry, especially its eyes will become sharp at this time. At this time, the owner should be careful and never provoke a cat, because the cat will be very aggressive at this time. If it provokes it, it is very likely that it will be scratched by the cat.
3. Entering the hunting state
Cats will also shrink their pupils when locking their prey. Therefore, if they find that the cat always stares at a place at this time, it may be that the cat has entered the hunting state. At this time, the owner must stop teasing the cat with his hands, otherwise the cat may use his hands as a hunting target.
