When I first saw this cat in the picture, Katie, I was astounded! I’d never ever seen a cat with two different colored eyes, though I’ve seen it in huskies (dogs). As I looked into it further, I started to hear myths that these cats are blind in one eye so I dug even deeper and found out the truth about these beautiful genetics!

First of all, different colored eyes does NOT equal blindness. That myth comes from the fact that usually blind eye has a milky-blue color to it. The eyes are simply different due to pure genetics…

Although the eye color doesn’t mean blindness, it more often DOES mean deafness.

• They’re often deaf (though not ALL are)
• They’re often deaf in at least one ear which is more often than not the ear on the side of the blue eye.
