Who dat?

Posted on Reddit - photo of cat who, the poster says, stares at his black friend like this for 5 minutes every time he comes over . I used to have a cat that would get up from his sleep-which was 20 hrs per day- and sit opposite my father-in-law and stare at him like this until Pap left. Really unnerved him.

It's been recently discovered that cats can see most colors other than red, although probably not as intensely as we do. It took this long to figure that out because cats don't really care what color things are; most of their prey are brown anyhow.
