They aren't doing a whole lot of hunting in the middle of the day regardless of their pupil size. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] mosspiglet@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago 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! permalink fedilink source parent [–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago* While that may be the case case for house cats, I know that other cats are geared towards hunting nocturnally, like that little tiny African cat the smallest cat in the world that has one of the highest hunting success rates on the planet for a mammal. But what else, I think a bunch of them they're not really nocturnal usually they take cat naps and wake up and prowl around and will hunt if they find something but obviously in the warm climates avoid the hottest temperatures. I know I had a mountain lion follow me and show itself to me in the middle of the night. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fizzle 1 point 5 months ago Amazing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fizzle 0 points 5 months ago Sorry who hates cats because theyre genocidal? You seem to have misfired there chief. permalink fedilink source parent [–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fizzle 1 point 5 months ago I suspect that there's more people in the world that just wouldn't live with an animal in their house than there are people who would. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply)
