Style
editIn regards to the musical style of this release, this album follows the same line of her previous one with rock and hard rock tracks. Anyway, many critics say that this album has a more mature and darker sound compared to her previous record, a more innovative and sober production and deeper lyrics.[2] In an auto-interview for RTVE with herself and her producers, the singer admitted that the tracks in the album had a wider relation between each other.[3] Although rock music clearly dominates in this album, there are some different songs such as the ballad "Te espero" (I wait for you), which combines electronic elements with guitars and a softer instrumentation.
Four tracks from this album were released as maxi singles: The first one of them was the title track "Los ojos del gato" (Cat's eyes[4]) and the following two singles were "Detrás de tu mirada / Te espero" (Behind your glance[5] / I wait for you[6]) and "Secreto" (Secret[7]). Those singles came out few months before the release of the album and in fact, Luz Casal was invited to perform some of her tracks in some RTVE shows.
