A rare predominantly black cat with odd eyes. The odd-eyed colouring is caused when either the epistatic (recessive) white gene or dominant white (which masks any other colour genes and turns a cat completely solid white) [3] or the white spotting gene (which is the gene responsible for bicolour coats) [4] prevents melanin granules from reaching one eye during development, resulting in a cat ...
In humans, the pupil is circular, but its shape varies between species; some cats, reptiles, and foxes have vertical slit pupils, goats and sheep have horizontally oriented pupils, and some catfish have annular types. [3] In optical terms, the anatomical pupil is the eye's aperture and the iris is the aperture stop.
It is a common misconception that all white cats with blue eyes are deaf. [14] This is not true, as there are many blue-eyed cats with perfect hearing. However, white cats with blue eyes do have slightly higher probability of genetic deafness than white cats of other eye colors. [15]
Cats will adjust their eyes during the day, allowing less light to filter in, while their pupils will expand at night to allow for more light, Purina reports. Feline eyes also have more "rods ...
Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]

The orange cat in this video is desperate to catch a bug hanging out on the ceiling of his home—so desperate, in fact, that he may be taking his very life in his hands.
Ojos Azules (Spanish: [ˈoxos aθˈules], 'Blue Eyes') was a breed of shorthaired [1] [2] domestic cat with unusual blue or odd eyes [1] caused by a dominant blue eye (DBE) genetic mutation. The breed came in all coat colors; however, only particolors ( bicolors and tricolors ), colorpoints , and intermediate colors with a characteristic white ...
