Fear or excitement
If a cat feels threatened and also if it sees something pleasing the cat's pupils will become dilated.
Annoyed
An annoyed cat will turn its ears back, while its pupils constrict and its whiskers bristle forward.
Playing and hunting
The ears are pricked, pupils dilated and whiskers thrust forward.
Relaxed or friendly
A relaxed cat will have perked ears and whiskers. Dilation of the pupils depends on the light.
The reason for your cat's behaviour maybe due to an underlying medical reason. If you are concerned about your cat, always consult your vet or a cat behaviourist for professional, qualified advice.
