Does anyone know where 'cats eyes' originated from? I was told as a kid that a boy put bits of tin foil on the road so he could find his way home in the dark by torch light (I dont think he new the way very well) and this was the start of the idea.
However the boys in work laughed at me when i said this and said they were named after dead cats on the road whose eyes are clearly visible under the light of car headlamps.
Does anyone know any more about this?
