Hello, fun photo to play with!

What I did since the cats aren't red but rather glowing, I googled for cat eyes and found a image with eyes of another cat that I just guessed would be a close match for your cats eyes!

With my magic wand I selected the new cat eyes and pasted them as seperate layers above your cats layer. Then I rotated, adjusted the size of them. Erased areas that just didn't blend in with your black cat. The new eyes weren't exactly the same size oval as your cats eyes so I just painted in black on your cat where needed which was just thin stripes of the glowing edges. this is what I ended up with.

funny.. I was just going to suggest doing the exact same thing! It's so easy with cats because their eyes are almost all the same so just need to find the same looking view and well.. there it is. Nice job Haley!
