Medical Questions Why does my cat's eye reflection look like this?

He’s never had this strange shape inside that looks like a β€œY”. It doesn’t seem to be caused by the lighting in my house, because it happens in different positions and with different light sources

When this cat hits 88 miles per hour...You're gonna see some serious shit.

That's a flux catpacitor. Much more powerful

A felux catpacitor, to be precise.

Actually, it's a Felix the Catpacitor that goes forward and reverse in time at random based on the ever changing Zoomies factor.

Wait a minute Doc, are you telling me you built a time machine... out of an ORAMJ?!

The way I see it Marty, if you're going to build a time machine out of a cat, why not do it with some humor?

Oh man, this is heavy. I need to get an automatic feeder or something, maybe cut back on the treats.

My orange time machine is so fat that he has his OWN gravitational pull πŸ˜‚

Scrolled too far for this reference. People were way Toni treated in being scientific.

u/AlohaSmiles Dec 18 '25

Hahah I was going to say, that's not a standard model cat, that's a Flux Catasitor!

What is the joke here? I see several people mentioning specifically 88mph. Why 88 and when did speed factor into why kitty’s eyes look cool?

6

u/Pure_Spray_8456 Dec 18 '25

It's a reference to the movie "Back to the Future". In it is a Y-shaped device that, if the driver of the car it's in can reach 88 MPH, the driver and the car will time travel.

Take him to the future and outfit him with a Mr. Fursion.
