(kinda) new cat always has dilated eyes
Hey all, my boyfriend and I recently adopted our first cat, her name is taco. She is a tortie with a gorgeous coat and is 4 years old. We've had her since December 1st of last year and we got her from a shelter where she had been returned once before. I've noticed her eyes are almost constantly dilated, and recently I've been wondering why. I think she's just anxious, since she was a returned shelter cat and I worry she has a history of being abused as sometimes she flinches when I reach to pet her, but is otherwise receptive to affection. I feed her every morning and refill her food if it is empty every night, and she has multiple water bowls around the house, as well as constantly giving affection and playing. Is she just anxious or is there something more serious going on? When we got her from the shelter (humane society) they said she had no issues health wise and she's always exploring and has energy. Thanks
