cat-eyed
Seeing in darkness
Cat-eyed describes eyes that resemble a cat's—typically with a narrow, slanted shape or an alert, watchful quality.
The term often suggests keen vision, especially in low light: He moved cat-eyed through the darkened warehouse.
In fashion, cat-eyed refers to eyeglasses or makeup with upswept outer corners that evoke a feline look: She wore cat-eyed sunglasses.
