Yes, they can in fact move their eyes. Often it doesn't seem as though they do, because they tend to follow their eye motion with their head almost instantly, and so will be staring directly at you as soon as you see them; but a cat whose head is held in position can be seen to move her eyes.

Why do cats blink?

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. -Zach Attebery
