Riveted on some object outside the door...

The bounce of a beam of light off the tile floor produced the vibrant eye color, and if you look closely, a bit of the reflection of the grass and sky outside in his right eye.

Thanks so much, Nadya, David, Nadine, Maggie (Go Green Bay, indeed!) and Heather for your excellent and insightful comments! I, too, wondered what caught the eye of this cat, I was standing right next to him and I did not see a thing...fascinating :)
