Indeed, it is often associated with other eye diseases such as feline leukemia, glaucoma and corneal ulcer among others. The onset of anisocoria may be symptomatic of the presence of more serious disease in cats. It can be accompanied by a blue or reddish coloring in the eyes, profuse secretions or discharge and a strong tendency for your cat to scratch its eyes. One will appear visibly more dilated and round than the other. Anisocoria: Different sized pupils between the two eyesĪnisocoria describes a situation in which your cat has different sized pupils between its two eyes. In the latter case, his round eyes will make you understand that he is in a happy mood or particularly happy, when you have served him a food he loves for example. It can also reflect a positive feeling of satisfaction. Or translate the terror or fear he feels in other cases. Their round shape could indeed mean that he is stressed or anxious. In a completely different context, a connection can be made with the emotional state and the dilated pupils of your four-legged companion. It will therefore occur more frequently at night. Note that this more or less pronounced dilation is mainly intended to let enough light into the eye in low light conditions. With dilated and round pupils, your cat's eyes will appear rounder, larger and almost black. In connection this time with the mood or state of mind of your little feline, narrow pupils can also be synonymous with pleasure, anger, excitement or translate a fear, even signify an intention to attack a prey or a toy that hangs around. However, other factors may explain the narrow shape of the pupils. They will indeed contract to reduce the amount of light entering the eye when the cat is in a too bright space. It is this natural phenomenon of accommodation that can be at work when your feline presents narrow pupils or vertical slits, comparable to those of the eyes of a snake. Thus, depending on the intensity of the ambient light, its pupils will take a different shape in order to offer the cat an optimal and comfortable vision. It should be noted above all that cats have eyes that are sensitive to variations in light. Here are some meanings for each of these pupil shapes, to help you better understand and decipher the signals your little feline sends back. Indeed, depending on variations in ambient light, mood or state of health, your cat's pupils may take a narrow, dilated or asymmetric size. One of the fascinating details in the physiology of our fellow felines is the ability of their eyes to be able to naturally change shape according to various contexts.
