Eye colour!!


Does anyone know when kittens eye colour starts to change? My 2 white kittens both have blue eyes, and Roberts friend who is taking the fluffy one is really hoping that they stay that colour! As I'm not sure when they change I was hoping someone on here could tell me!

Re: Eye colour!!


Not sure Alex but I always understood the colour of their eyes changed over a couple of months....

Sam, my previous ginger cat had striking blue eyes as a kitten but they changed to amber..

Re: Eye colour!!


i too have a white kitten with striking blue eyes, are yours pure white, if so hows their hearing, my kitten is a rescue, he is staying indoors as he is deaf, apparantly most pure white kittens with blue eyes are, he can't hear a thing and i know if he ever got out he wouldn't survive for long......

Re: Eye colour!!


I suspect one of the white kittens may be deaf, not completely sure. Will ask the vet in 2 weeks when they go in for their first jabs. He is going to one of roberts friends (dependant on home visit of course) and will be an indoor cat only anyway!!

Re: Eye colour!!


if you think he's deaf he probably is.....
the rescue we got our kitten from said they thought he might not be as he has a pale black streak of hair on his forehead, barely visible but they said because he had it he may not be deaf, from the first night we got him home though we just knew that he was, we still whistle him and click our fingers at him when he's somewhere he shouldn't be, lol, you forget....our other 2 cats think he's a real tough guy as he doesn't run away from the hoover like they do, they watch him from behind the curtains as he sits on it, he's only 4 months old now and hes starting to look like the top cat!!!
