Fathomless Depths

Cats are glorious creatures who must on no accounts be underestimated... Their eyes are fathomless depths of cat-world mysteries.

What are the differences between a human pupil and cat pupil?

A human pupil is round in shape and a cat's is elliptical. An elliptical pupil opens and closes much faster than a round pupil, meaning cats' eyes can adjust to light changes much faster than ours. Also, their pupils are much bigger than ours, allowing more light to enter in poor lighting conditions, again improving their night vision.


An unsettling windy and wild spring day. The leftover fall leaves are swirling outside the windows and Raspberry, Max and I feel unsettled. Yes, they are still separated, yes, it's heartbreaking and a really,really giant pain!
