Speaking of Nick Fury making friends with a feline, is this how he loses an eye? That's something this movie is almost certainly going to show us, and there's been a lot of speculation as to how it'll happen.

The most obvious answer would be that it happens as a result of his efforts to stop the Skrulls, but then Marvel don't always go down the most obvious route. And it'd be much more fun, and completely fitting, for him to lose it courtesy of Goose as the cat reveals it's actually an alien.

The key part to this idea is that Fury's said "the last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye." That could mean a Skrull pretending to be someone at SHIELD, like Ben Mendelsohn's character is doing, but it could also just mean Carol Danvers' cat. And really, imagining the sort of reaction Samuel L. Jackson would deliver to such a moment means it ought to be the latter.
