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 ...
It occurs in humans and certain breeds of domesticated animals. Heterochromia of the eye is called heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis. It can be complete, sectoral, or central. In complete heterochromia, one iris is a different color from the other. In sectoral heterochromia, part of one iris is a different color from its remainder.
This is a list of notable people who have been documented as having heterochromia iridis, a condition when the irises have different colours. People who are frequently mistakenly thought to have heterochromia are not included, but may be listed in the Notes section.

Unlike we humans, cats don't have cones that are sensitive to red wavelengths — that means that they lack the light-sensitive pigments at the back of their eye that enable them to see red.
The brightly colored eyes of many bird species result from the presence of other pigments, such as pteridines, purines, and carotenoids. [7] Humans and other animals have many phenotypic variations in eye color. [8] The genetics and inheritance of eye color in humans is complicated.
Degeneration of the cochlea and saccule, as seen in Waardenburg syndrome, has also been found in deaf white cats, Dalmatians and other dog breeds, white minks and mice. [52] Domesticated cats with blue eyes and white coats are often completely deaf. [53] Deafness is far more common in white cats than in those with other coat colors.
