Super!  Rather intriguing and quite beautiful, IMO. I missed it as can only 
check the old archives at work and this post was not included due to a hiccup 
of some sort which I have noticed over the years.   
Made me wonder why a horizontal slit pupil--recalled reading an article on it.  
More common in prey animals and it is said they can detect vertical motion 
better as well as have a broader range of vision at the price of some 
sharpness.  Here is one site:

Not sure where I saw the original article.

In the eye of the beholder, Mike
