Cats I understand have an extra structure in their eye in addition to our rods and cones, that ignites on movement, not brightness or color.

Tea cup poodles are the 'victorious species' by any measure, and lions are just ecological garbage trucks, a necessary, but increasingly limited, job descripfion.

I love the term “ecological garbage trucks”.  Here in MD the turkey vultures provide that service and are essential!   I’ll never look at them the same way again. 😊
