Considering one exists and the other doesn't, a better question might be why do people draw dragons with cat eyes.
replies:
Because, as a rite of passage, all newborn cats must slay a dragon and take its eyes.

Cats have vertical slits because their prey animals consist of rodents (ground) and birds (air). The slit gives them a larger vertical field of view. Imagine viewing life like a TikTok influencer.
Some prey animals (goats) have horizontal slits so they can more easily watch for predators.

Can you explain what a dragon eyes are in the context of Shrek?
