Cats don't blink because they don't need to. We blink to moisturize our eyes. But cats' eyes are different in many ways, one of them being that their tear ducts continually release moisture without blinking. It stands to reason that cats developed this trait over time in order to be better hunters and evade predators. In the wild, that split second blink could be the difference between eating and starving as prey run out of sight, or living and dying when running from a predator. Those cats who blinked less survived and passed along the trait to their offspring. Now all cats have it.

∙ 11y agoAll animals' eyes twitch. Eyes are lighter and quicker to move than heads, so if something happens, the animal will shift his eyes toward that something to determine what it is. A cat will also then move his head to orient on that thing, to get both eyes, both ears, and his nose pointing at it, which will make his eyes twitch back.
