Producing melanin is one of the last things to start happening in a kitten’s eyes, and before it accumulates, all kittens’ eyes appear blue. Yes! Kittens are born with very underdeveloped eyes, which is why they stay closed for at least the first week after being born. Blue eyes normally come with pale coats, but they are not the exclusive domain of these moggies: black and white (tuxedo), tortie, and tabby cats can also be blessed with azure eyes. If you’ve ever gazed upon a white cat with blue eyes, a mostly black cat with blue eyes, or a grey cat with blue eyes, you know what I’m talking about!įeline eye color varies from shades of yellow such as golden or amber, to green or hazel, and on to gorgeous shades of blue. There is just something about blue eyes on cats and kittens that put the candles on the cake. In my eyes every fuzzy feline is precious and adorable, but cats with blue eyes are something special! I mean what’s not to love when you come face to face with a fluffy, blue-eyed ball of whiskered delight? And for many a cat lover, moggies with blue eyes are simply the ultimate in kitty cat cuteness. So you’ll see them most often in Siamese, Persian, Javanese, Ragdoll, Turkish Van, Himalayan, Birman, and Tonkinese cats. Blue eyes are most common in white cats and those with point markings. But of course certain breeds are more likely to be particular colors, so there is a correlation in that sense. In general a cat’s eye color depends on their fur shade and patterning, not their breed.
