∙ 12y agoIf you look carefully at a cat's eyes when he is in sunlight, his pupils are slits. This is to minimize the intake of light. When he is in a dark room, his eyes seem to be 90% pupil and 10% iris. This is to maximize light intake, and cats can see in almost complete darkness. Sadly, humans do not have this type of pupil, so cats win this battle.
