What does the black spot on the cat's eye mean?

The black spot of cat's eye refers to the black spot in the center of pupil, which is composed of ciliary muscle and iris. The black spot in the center of the pupil is formed by the exposed ciliary muscle after the iris pupil shrinks.

In most cases, the cat's ciliary muscle and iris are automatically coordinated and can adapt to the light reflection of the surrounding environment, so in the case of sufficient light, the pupil will shrink into a circle and the black spots in the cat's eye will be more obvious.

2. Cat's eye black spots are related to the emotional state of cats.

In addition to the pupil size being affected by light, the size of black spots in the cat's eye is also closely related to the cat's emotional state, which can express the cat's emotional state and let us know and understand the cat better.

When a cat feels excited and curious and wants to play with its owner, its black spots will become very small and almost disappear. This is because a smaller pupil can reduce the amount of light entering the pupil, increase the depth in the pupil, and make the light more focused, thus improving the cat's visual ability and reaction speed.

When a cat feels negative emotions such as fear, anger and panic, its black spots will become particularly large and even occupy the whole pupil. This is because pupil dilation can let more light enter the pupil, improve the visual field and resolution, and also provide more information to perceive the surrounding environment, grasp the situation as much as possible, and make a more accurate response to the environment.

3. The black spots on the cat's eyes can indicate the cat's health.

The change of the size of black spots in cat's eyes can also reflect the health status of cats. If the cat's mental state is good, its appetite is normal, and the size and changes of black spots in eyes are natural, then the cat's health is relatively stable, so don't worry.

However, if the size of the cat's black spots suddenly changes, or stays in a big or small state, or the eyes always look a little dull, or there are abnormal conditions such as pigmentation, it may be that there is something wrong with the cat's body, which needs immediate attention and care, and take it to the veterinarian for examination.
