Description

Additional fun fact: Domestic cats have slit pupils, large cats have round pupils. What about in-between cats like the lynx? They’re an intermediate - ovals!

Thanks MistingWolf Β for the suggestion!

I don't understand why some people (me included) find the horizontal and "W" shaped pupils so creepy...

I think it's just very alien to us and our brain automatically recognizes that.

I find it kind of cute. c: The strong horizontal pupil of a goat actually weirds me out more.
