Why does the demon cat only eat eyeballs in Legend of the Demon Cat (妖猫传)?
The demon cat in the Chinese movie Legend of the Demon Cat (妖猫传) only eats eyeballs. From 25 minutes into the movie:
我只吃眼珠子
I only eat eyeballs
In the movie, he eats both fish eyeballs and human eyeballs at various points. However, I haven't figured out why he has this peculiar dietary restriction.
