Animal question of the month
Q. Why do cats' eyes contract to a vertical slit?
A. As cats evolved to hunt at night, they can see well in low light conditions. As their eyes are really sensitive to light, cats need great control over the light reaching their retinas.
The ability to reduce the pupils to slits rather than tiny circles gives cats greater control of how much light enters their eyes; this ability is really important in full sunlight.
Vertical slits also have the advantage over horizontal slits. The cat's eyelids close at right angles to the vertical pupil, the cat can reduce the amount of light even further by bringing its eyelids closer and closer together. This combination of the vertical pupil slits and the eyelids' horizontal slits means the cat is able to make the most delicate adjustments of the light reaching its eye.
