| Communication is very important. Knowing what your cat is feeling will help in a better relationship. The eyes say a lot about a cat's mood. The pupils will change size in respons of it's surroundings, due to light or reactions to situations. Watch your cat's eyes the next time you give it a treat. Upon seeing the treat the pupils will probably expand dramatically. They will also enlarge when they see something frightening or threatoning. A quick change in the size of the pupils could indicate either a strong positive or negative emotion, and one must therefore interpret the signal in context. To learn a little more on expressions. |
