u/Noble_Ox 6h ago

When I first found Reddit there were only around 600 subs in total.

There's about that many cat subs alone now .

Actually there's over 900 cats subs meow.

u/Noble_Ox 3h ago

Funny, Reddit translated geundheit into health.

Never knew that's what it meant.

2

u/rictuspiscis 2h ago

Fun fact: 'health' is how you say "bless you" in several languages, i.e. Spanish/Italian (salud/salute), German, etc.

u/SacredGeometry9 6h ago

I thought the same thing. Then I realized I had already joined that one lol

u/MyCatIsAnActualNinja 5h ago

bring it! I always get rid of the political subs but after a month my feed has slowly become political again. Drowning it out with cats is the answer.

Vision becomes more blurry when dilating pupils, akshually (insert fat pimpled nerd guy meme)

u/Bitter-Researcher389 8h ago

All the more to manipulate you with!

u/YouMUSTvote 9h ago

She’s trying to look her hungriest.

The real question is: Where’s the tuna? 🤣

6

u/Regurgitator001 8h ago

Do we have the same cat?

3

u/YouMUSTvote 5h ago

🤣 I dunno but you if you ask either of mine, I’m starving them, simply snatching food away from their hungry mouths!!

(Especially at 4:15 am when they’re knocking things over and doing a road rally to be fed.. it’s hard but I don’t take the bait).

7

u/VinnieONeill 7h ago

Means they are in hunting mode. So that means they want you to play with them since there is no prey for them to hunt. Their pupils get big to let more light in so they can more easily see/hunt prey.

u/Kusanagi_M89 6h ago

As the saying goes: The one weird thing about cats is that mischief mode is not the picture on the left, but the one on the right. 😹

All the better to see you with. Lol

u/Marco_Heimdall 8h ago

When they're wide like that, it is time to play. So play must be had, even if it's just throwing a crumpled paper ball.

That looks like an immensely loved cat, regardless, and I hope that when it was safe to do so, this kitty got all the snuggles.

u/philwee 8h ago

3

u/ParachutingPiglets 7h ago

Are you asking about her eyes in particular or the size of her pupils? Cats pupils dilate very fast when they are playing, fighting or scared.

3

u/StressTraditional204 6h ago

full moon pupil mode 😭

3

u/Forsaken_Berry_75 4h ago edited 3h ago

Most likely blind with (PRA) progressive retinal atrophy or a cat from another country where they’ve been bred for years to have this look. 

See my post from a few years ago on my late blind cat who had the same eyes since she was young.

u/mathewtyler 49m ago

When this happened to my cat, it turned out she was experiencing hypertension and during this time wasn't able to see but wasn't considered blind either

2

u/becca-bh 4h ago

Do her eyes return to normal at any point? If not, it may be that your kitty is going blind. In which case a vet check is needed. I worked in a cat rescue with a few blind cats, some of them had diabetes ( I think) which led to the blindness. This is something that treatable
