my neighbor has this sweet white cat. i picked her up once and noticed that her eyes are of different colors. it's weird isn't it? or is it a common thing among cats?

this is amazing! where did your neighbor get her cat? i wonder, does this affect the cat's vision?

actually that isn't so weird. it's called heterochromia. cats are not the only creatures who get different eye colors. humans can get this, too. as a matter of fact, there are celebrities who have heterochromia like Demi Moore (who has 1 green eye and 1 hazel).

Really? That's interesting, Eleni. I haven't noticed Demi's eyes having different colors. Maybe she wears contact lenses.

thanks for the information, Eleni! i've read up on heterochromia and i found out that vision is completely normal and this condition is not a medical problem.

oh, i'd like to have heterochromia, too! i think it would be really cool to have 1 hazel eye and 1 amber eye! Laughing

heterochromia is also common among siberian huskies. these dogs usually have 1 brown eye and 1 blue eye.

i don't think it would be that bad. imagine if you have heterochromia. just imagine your boyfriend telling you how pretty your eyes are.

boyfriend: "you have such beautiful 1 hazel eye and 1 blue eye.
you: thank you. oh, you're such a smooth-talker.

If your boyfriend starts to compliment you on your two differently colored eyes, shouldn't you worry? I mean, is it a normal thing with people?

i used to have a cat who has two differently colored eyes. i also have a cousin who has heterochromia. people find it weird, but good weird. many seem to think that having two differently colored eyes is pretty. Wink

it does look weird.. having two differently colored eyes. but it's also cool at the same time. do people with heterochromia have impaired vision?

this cat's eyes are really pretty. i wouldn't mind having a cat with heterochromia! Laughing

my cousin didn't have any vision problem. it's a normal 20/20 vision for her. i dont' know for other people with heterochromia, though.
