Pupil size is actually not only due to light but affected by your body’s endogenous drugs or outside drugs you may take, as we all know opiates will make your pupils small as a pin even at night, or whatever, while cocaine or psychedelics will make your pupils wide as a dinner plate even during the day. To say nothing of atropine and the like.
Those play off your body’s natural drugs, the endogenous ones aforementioned.
Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. They aren’t doing a whole lot of hunting in the middle of the day regardless of their pupil size.
While that may be the case case for house cats, I know that other cats are geared towards hunting nocturnally, like that little tiny African cat the smallest cat in the world that has one of the highest hunting success rates on the planet for a mammal.
But what else, I think a bunch of them they’re not really nocturnal usually they take cat naps and wake up and prowl around and will hunt if they find something but obviously in the warm climates avoid the hottest temperatures.
I know I had a mountain lion follow me and show itself to me in the middle of the night.
This is also why they have a reputation for being really fucking annoying when you’re trying to sleep. They’ll keep you awake when you’re trying to fall asleep, because that’s when they are most awake. And then after you finally fall asleep, they’ll come snuggle up because they’re tired again. And then they’ll wake you up at 5:30 in the fucking morning, because they’re awake and energetic again as dawn approaches.
Our cat likes to “hunt” at around 3AM. Every morning there is a collection of his prey (toys) that he brings upstairs and leaves on and around the bed. At some point he will also loudly announce his arrival with his kills. It would be cute if it wasn’t 3 AM on a Monday night!
It’s actually both
Depends on the lighting conditions
I dislike cats, have never had one, but this seems obvious.
Ain’t nobody prowling around on the savanna in the day time with huge pupils like that.

Also how could you not like cats? That’s weird.
I suspect that there’s more people in the world that just wouldn’t live with an animal in their house than there are people who would.
You just don’t understand.
Humans are the most genocidal predators of all history, we are far more similar to a cat than we would like to admit.
Think about it, we slaughtered animals for millions of years including each other, to say you hate cats is to say you hate yourself.
Sorry who hates cats because theyre genocidal?
You seem to have misfired there chief.
