Here's a fact, I already knew it but I copied this from another site with more detail lol. ''Pigeon eyesight is excellent. Like humans, pigeons can see color, but they also can see ultraviolet light--part of the light spectrum that humans can't see. Pigeons are sometimes used in human search-and-rescue missions because of their exceptional vision.'' so if you want a pet with good eye sight go for a pigeon!

Cats can NOT walk on bubbles from bubble bath.
