Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Miranda's eyes
I was looking in my photo archives for a nice picture of Frank and Nikki for my desktop, when I stumbled on this picture of Miranda, and was reminded of a thread here a while back about cats' eyes. This picture shows really clearly the two colours in Mir's eyes. They look very yellow here, but they look more green in reality. The pic was in my 'May 2005' folder, so she is 5-6 months old here. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/303978040/2467587480058511339HPZhrw  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

It almost looks like she has two pupils. I imagine that with kittens, the bluish part gets smaller over time.

Amendment: I just watched another video on that site, "November meets a friend". You could see her (I'm convinced November is a female) eyes a little better in that one, and indeed, they are very black. But it's because they're extremely dilated. You can see a rim of green around the edges of the big, black pupils. Of course, in that video, she's meeting another cat for the first time. The other cat looks horrified, has flat ears, keeps licking its chops like cats do when they're scared. So no wonder November's eyes are dilated. But it looked like she was more or less enjoying herself on the treadmill, so I don't know why her eyes were so big and black in that video. She looked adorable, and very graceful, walking on the treadmill. She even fell off gracefully!

Vino's eyes will dialate like that too when he gets very excited and playful. But I thought it was weird how November had her mouth open for a long time while running on the treadmill. Was she panting from exertion? SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

She does look cute with her orphan Annie stare, and is very graceful and balanced. jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt@sonic.net wrote in news:44f78e27$0$34535 $742ec2ed@news.sonic.net: > Amendment: I just watched another video on that site, "November meets > a friend".

Somehow, I never got to see the original post. THat really is so cute! (but I did have to post a warning about treadmills). Still, my cats, even as kittens, I believe would have given up after a minute or two! > > Incidentally, I wonder if anyone's seen eyes this dark on a cat > > before: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joyce - really, it's not a devil cat, I'm sure it's not... Persia needs a treadmill! Maybe then she wouldn't be so fluffy! ;) Jill >Persia needs a treadmill! Maybe then she wouldn't be so fluffy! ;) Apparently, it's not just mice that like treadmills. :) On Thu 31 Aug 2006 09:26:52p, wrote in rec.pets.cats.anecdotes (news:44f78c5c$0$34535$742ec2ed@news.sonic.net): > > Incidentally, I wonder if anyone's seen eyes this dark on a > > cat before: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joyce - really, it's not a devil cat, I'm sure it's not... I've seen so many videos of cats on treadmills that I'm positive that most of them love the excerise and challenge of staying upright. LOL While viewing that one, I found three others that were too cute to not share: This battle reminds me of Rhett and Shamrock. They can really get into it, but as in this video, it's not "to the death" but seems like it at times.

That's the thing everyone here keeps passing on to others because no ones cats really likes it. >> feeding time >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0dy4TLp0Qk&NR >> (yikes. ok, what's up with putting down the empty can?) > >OK, I hope that black and white one finally got some food.

I've heard of cooties, but that kitchen has an infestation of CUTIES! >Incidentally, I wonder if anyone's seen eyes this dark on a cat >before: > >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peLD2vlxRM0 > >A very beautiful, but maybe soulless cat? :) November certainly has that "runway strut". I think the eyes appear so dark because the light is from the back. SignatureThe night is just the shadow of the Earth. > She has always been so pretty. It almost looks like she has two > pupils.

As I see it, the darker part is the part that covers the pupils when they're not completely dilated - her eyes still look like that. Nikki's eyes looked the same. I didn't know that this was how it happened, I though the pupils themselves actually dilated and contracted, but it looks like it's the yellow/green part that closes in over the pupil (Nikki's eyes looked the same). > Incidentally, I wonder if anyone's seen eyes this dark on a cat > before: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peLD2vlxRM0 > > A very beautiful, but maybe soulless cat? :) Very pretty, but they should have stopped the treadmill when she started panting.

And now I know why they put models on a "catwalk" :) --Fil > Very pretty, but they should have stopped the treadmill when she started > panting. I didn't like the video where they tried to introduce November to a friend's cat by bringing the friend's cat over. They don't seem to know much about cats.

If she was really so breathless and tired out, wouldn't she have stopped jumping on the thing? Surely a cat knows when it's had enough, and doesn't feel like running anymore. At least, mine certainly do! I thought it looked like she was being chatty. Joyce > Incidentally, I wonder if anyone's seen eyes this dark on a cat > before: > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peLD2vlxRM0 LOL - that is hillarious. What a persistent and beautiful cat! Susan M Otis and Chester Miranda is the Grace Kelly of cats. Beautiful kitty and perfect pose. My boys are tongue tied.

It was I who posted about not being able to get a good photo of Persia's green & gold eyes. They pretty much look like Mir's eyes :) Jill |
