Hi, I’m Colette, the Vibra blogger cat, and today I’m going to tell you why our eyes light up.
Perhaps it has happened to you at home (or on the street, if you don’t have a cat) that you are walking in the middle of the night and, suddenly, a pair of huge round lights shine on you, giving you one of the worst scares you could ever imagine. They are the eyes of your cat, which, like a laser, pierce the darkness…

Do you know why our eyes light up so much? If you look in an encyclopedia you will find explanations with lenses, photoreflective cells, etc., but that is not the truthAt least it is not our truth.

Since we domesticated humans, cats have been their «friendly paw» in the dark. Before the appearance of electric light, the task of cats in every home was to illuminate the night; also we climbed the walls in the cities and the trees in the countryside, to light up streets and paths from there. But with electricity everything changed, man stole our luminaire exclusivity!

That’s why all the cats in the world we tried to exhaustion to catch that light that was stolen from us of our eyes, which now only illuminate in an increasingly dim darkness due to artificial light… Someday we will catch the light… someday!
