Fabulous feline with "kintsugi pottery" eyes fascinates the online cat community, who were wondering what this wonderful phenomenon is: ‘Oh no, your car's windshield is broken’

Just when we think we've seen every possible flavor of feline fabulousness, the cat universe goes, "Actually… here's something new". Cats have existed beside humans for thousands of years, evolving mostly into smaller, fluffier, bossier household loafs - but not much more than that - and yet somehow, they continue to surprise us. Every day, the online cat community uncovers another tiny miracle of whiskers and wonder that makes us collectively scream "How are cats so magical?"

Enter one astonishing kitty with eyes that look like hand-crafted kintsugi pottery - cracked gold lines shimmering across the lens like an ancient work of art. At first glance, cat lovers were confused, fascinated, and mildly convinced that someone's windshield had shattered (Because cats, cars, what's the difference? They're both parking). But as the internet does, knowledgeable cat experts jumped in: this beautiful phenomenon is called "persistent pupillary membrane". It's a bit of leftover fetal tissue that never dissolved during development. It usually doesn't affect vision much - and, as one optometrist happily confirmed, it just looks unbelievably cool.

This is why cat people never get bored. Even after centuries of domestic life, these little purredators still manage to surprise us with new colors, patterns, quirks, and adorable oddities. Every unusual whisker, every extra toe, every shimmery kintsugi eye reminds us why cats aren't just animals - they're living pieces of art. And the internet is lucky enough to admire them every single day.
