    The term ‘tapetum lucidum’ is Latin, meaning ‘bright tapestry.’ It refers to a reflective layer inside the eye present in many nocturnal animals. This iridescent layer inside the eye reflects the light that passes through the retina. It reflects it through the retina a second time, essentially allowing one beam of light to light the animal’s vision twice! When the light is reflected out of the eye, we get the classic glowing effect of a cat’s eyes, referred to as ‘eyeshine’ in science.

The game's developers are the Blue Twelve Studio guys. It's like saying the original Operation Flashpoint (now known as Arma: CWA) was developed by Codemasters, which is wrong, the guys from Bohemia Interactive Studios developed OFP, Codemasters co-produced it.

Since, no one was around him to help solve whatever problem occurred I'm assuming he was the last or among the last survivors. He can signal through electric appliances so he would have been able to call someone sooner or latter. And B12 recovered most of his memories in a few hours so at least part of the other robots would have recovered theirs too in those 300+ years.

    Anyway I'm also a cat lover sooooo: Cat's eyes are reflective because it helps them see in the dark better. If you see a cat's eyes glowing its because it is looking around and its very dark out. To me it looks like the kitty was laying down, stood up to stretch, and then had a look around. Nothin demonic about it. Heck, it's probably even just your cat that you play as!

Play it and leave the cat for a bit, you'll see it stretching, sitting, licking the front paw and doing other cat stuff. The cat in the menu does similar things, it doesn't float, there's a ground the cat sits on, it might be out of focus, but it's still there.

    It makes sense that a robot would be put into Stray as a reference to Sojiro Sakura. He has a soft spot for cats. I also thought that the robot's attire was a reference to him, as well, but unfortunately I don't see any time in Persona 5, Royal, or Strikers in which Sojiro wears overalls. Though I guess it could be that he simply looks like the kind of person who would.
    On a side note, though, I would love to see an alternate costume for the cat based on Morgana due to this reference, lol. Are there any iconic house cats in any Back to the Future films? I unfortunately never watched any of them.

    I just remembered, if you collect all badges B12 upgrades the backpack and it turns holographic. If you play another chapter from that same save, you will have the holo backpack still. Also while in a box later in the game, you can spin the cat in circles. It's really silly to see, especially if the camera comes in close or gets a blur effect. These aren't really secrets or important facts but fun nonetheless

    The glowing eyes of the cat in the main menu are a result of a structure at the back of the eye, the Tapetum lucidum, which reflects light. This is an adaptation that improves vision in low light conditions, and it can be found ina wide variety of mammals, including, ironically, dogs.

    The issue with the crowbar itself just being a reference is crowbars are also useful tools in any post-apocalypse situation.
    Without something such as a certain spray painted shape or an orange suit it is completely realistic to just be coincidence. Not to mention how full in they go with Doc and Marty it feels almost wrong to say it is a reference. It needs 1 more thing to be complete.
    Also yes I know Half Life 2 starts on a train.
