The Silence Before The Pounce: 28 Feline Friends with Ferocious Eyes Ready to Feast on their Food (or Your Feet)

Are you ready for a fun fact about cats, fellow I Can Has-ers? Or perhaps you already know about "attack eyes" - this is when the cat's pupils expand right before they're about to pounce. It's an evolutionary trait to help them see better, but to us, it's just adorable. We love seeing their eyes get all big during the middle of playtime, and it's also a sign for us to protect our tuna sandwich! 

The crazy kitties in this post are ready to pounce and we can't get enough of it. Whether they're thinking about stealing some food off of your plate, attacking the feather you're dangling in front of them, or playing tag with your toes, kitties in their attack form are the cutest ever. So next time you're playing with your feline friend, be sure to look out for their attack eyes so you know if they're about to pounce or not!
