New kitty with different colored eyes?

Question

I just got a new kitty and she has two different colored eyes. One is blue and the other is brown/yellow. She was born like this (her fur is solid white) and I thought her eyes would eventually match, but they remain two different colors. Is this a clue that something is wrong or is this normal? Will they eventually both become the same color or will they stay this way?

Answer 1

its perfectly normal and is going to stay like this

Answer 2

I had a kitty like that once... her name was Muffins.  She was solid white with once blue eye & one green eye.  She was perfectly normal and healthy... with different colored eyes her whole life!  I say don't worry about it!

Answer 3

The cat will be deaf on the side the eye is blue...  she should be fine though...

the eyes won't change, it's nothing too drastic...  white cats with blue eyes are usually def.  Cat's with one blue eye are def, usually in the same side of the blue color.

Answer 4

It is perfectly normal. It is called odd-eyed. We have several cats that are odd-eyed. We were in the breeding business. We bred Turkish vans, white cats with touches of brown.

An odd-eyed cat is a cat with one blue eye and one green, yellow or brown eye. It is a feline form of complete heterochromia, a condition which occurs in some other animals. The condition most commonly affects white colored cats but can be found in a cat of any color, as long is it possesses the white spotting gene.

Answer 5

This is perfectly normal odd-eye whites (one blue eye one other colore eye) are quite common  and does not indicate any type of problem.  The blue-eye does not necessarly mean the cat is deaf in that ear.  Blue eyes whites do have a higher tendency toward deafness than other cat (studies have show that 60-85% of white cats with both blue eyes are deaf, while about 40% with one blue eye are deaf in the ear on the same side.   (as opposed to 17-22% of non-blue eyed white cats)     So your cat has about a 40% chance of being deaf on one side.  As long as she is an indoor only cat it will not really affect her that much.  If you suspect is is deaf in that hear she should not be allowed outside alone.   While no cat should really be outside unsupervised,  this is especially ture of deaf or partially deaf cats as they are unable or less able to hear things that can be a danger to them such as oncoming cars
