    I dislike cats, have never had one, but this seems obvious.

    Ain’t nobody prowling around on the savanna in the day time with huge pupils like that.

      Pupil size is actually not only due to light but affected by your body’s endogenous drugs or outside drugs you may take, as we all know opiates will make your pupils small as a pin even at night, or whatever, while cocaine or psychedelics will make your pupils wide as a dinner plate even during the day. To say nothing of atropine and the like.

      Those play off your body’s natural drugs, the endogenous ones aforementioned.

      Also how could you not like cats? That’s weird.

      You just don’t understand.

      Humans are the most genocidal predators of all history, we are far more similar to a cat than we would like to admit.

      Think about it, we slaughtered animals for millions of years including each other, to say you hate cats is to say you hate yourself.

      Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. They aren’t doing a whole lot of hunting in the middle of the day regardless of their pupil size.

        This is also why they have a reputation for being really fucking annoying when you’re trying to sleep. They’ll keep you awake when you’re trying to fall asleep, because that’s when they are most awake. And then after you finally fall asleep, they’ll come snuggle up because they’re tired again. And then they’ll wake you up at 5:30 in the fucking morning, because they’re awake and energetic again as dawn approaches.

          Our cat likes to “hunt” at around 3AM. Every morning there is a collection of his prey (toys) that he brings upstairs and leaves on and around the bed. At some point he will also loudly announce his arrival with his kills. It would be cute if it wasn’t 3 AM on a Monday night!
