I have never seen my cat blink, wondering what the biological reasoning for that is, or what their alternative is?

cats have two sets of eye lids the ones on the outside the cats use to make it darker for when they sleep. the second set is transparent so you can barliy see them but they keep the eye moist

My cats blink

well if you look closely at your cats eyes, you will notice that they are a lot more shiny than ours, that's because they are about 3 times as wet. Its like when you get something in your eye and it gets all watery. The wetness is constantly cleaning out dirt and stuff from their eye, so they don't really have any reason to blink.

They do blink, but in a very cat-like, dignified way. Humans blink haphazardly every few seconds. That is simply "beneath" a cat. They stare for a bit, then do a deliberate closing of their eyes, kind of like they're saying, "Hmm, let me think about that for just a moment," then they reopen their eyes and glance in another direction.
Nothing haphazard about it.
They only want you to THINK they never blink. It adds to their mystique.

I have had many cats growing up and they all blink. Maybe you just don't see your cat blink. Try blowing in it's face and see what happens...

I have cats and they blink. Maybe you just miss it when it blinks.

not sure what kind of non blinking breed cat you have but i have a siamese and a calico. They both blink. Stare a little longer, you'll catch it.

They do blink just don't have eyelids. If they didn't blink their eyes would never shut. Think about it.

they do blink, they blink about once every 15-30 second, they blink faster than humans...
