I don't know how many unanswered asks I have about Cat's Eyes, but I know it's been ten years since I updated the lore, or at least since the last time I drew it. Hopefully this covers some of them!
Cat's Eyes are baubles that are used in my story to get to and from the Way. They're something that traditionally only humans have.
They're made from a cat's eye (post-mortem) and some other ingredients, including a seed from that cat's crop. The cat must also die a good death (death can't be willed on it).
The 'stuff' is wrapped in a flax cloth with the eye and sealed away in a wooden box for 81 years, during which time the cat's spirit will have to serve Su. It will spend the majority of that time tending Su's crops and earning back the rest of its body. If the box is opened before then, the cat will be fine but the eye will shatter.
The spirit has the option to come back to the waking world and haunt its eye's maker if it's unhappy (or an asshole)- so that's something to consider.
If left undisturbed for the full 81 years the spirit will become a Wink and leave Su's field to join everyone else in the afterlife. The eye will wait until a person of its choosing comes along and rattle in place until it's found. The spirit the eye belonged to stays tethered to it and may lead its human of choice to all manner of hidden places.

Believe it or not I had this on the wall of my room at college. I think it confused my first year room mate (Who I did NOT get along with for SO many reasons) who was convinced I was gay*.
I also got it because it had that badass Emma in classic outfit AND the Hellions AND I loved Mary Wilshire's art style.
* Well, yes, I was and I knew it, but I wasn't out, wasn't dating, and it was none of his damn business in any event (He was 125% hetero)

80s Rahne Sinclair would be all like "Oh no! I can't show any sign of attraction to the boys! 'Tis na proper! Kissing and sex is so shameful!" and then proceed to have the most homoerotic relationships with girls.

From this old post.
A lot of cats who have had their eye charmed were Familiars and their person (their friend) would have found out just through having a relationship with them.
There have to be other ways because the story is more fun if a cat can be tricked into becoming a Wink, or if a person has to be wily to get it, but I haaaven't quite settled yet.
