A convenient way to conducted cat's eyes experiments is
to be with the animal in a dark room and to use a flashlight.
In that way one can illuminate the face at various spots and
from various directions. Then one can replace the cat by a
human being and look for differences.
The glowing eyes of the cat are big circles, not single points,
as a reflection from a metallic sphere. They seem to disappear
from time to time. What does the cat do "to turn the glow off"?
Is it just closing the eyes, looking in a different direction or
something else? I wish I had time to play with this but the
school year just started. Perhaps others will report their
observations, as Doug did, and interpret them for us.
