| don't know about cats - but I have seen several adult dogs - and horses
- with different colored eyes and they were just fine.

| I would say that there would be no risk at all. There are such
things as odd eyed cats (an odd eyed white persian is being shown
in CFF right now). But, if something happened to the cat that made
the eye discolored, then there may be something to worry about.
Your vet will know best, but there probably isn't anything to worry
about.

| My Muffin has a yellow eye and a blue eye. She's about 9 years
old and there is nothing wrong with her vision. The only concern
our Vet had when we first brought her in was that she is all white.
He said that quite often a white cat with blue eyes will be deaf.
Nothing wrong with her hearing either!

RE: .3 I forgot about deafness. That white persian with odd eyes
is deaf.

| Keeta (Star's sister) has one Blue eye and one Green eye. She is
three years old and definitely not blind or deaf.
Enjoy the new baby.

| Re .0 (Kathy):
One of my cats, Merlin, injured an eye slightly, so he has one yellow
and one _brown_ eye; he sees well out of both of them.
Actually, a blue eye is one with minimum iris pigmentation (the
only thing less than that is in albinism where _total_ lack of
pigmentation results in pink eyes). Therefore, in some cases of
minimum pigmentation, you might have different colored eyes. As
long as the eye reacts to the light (e.g., in bright light, the
iris closes tight), then there is visual perception on the part
of the cat (or dog, or ...). I wouldn't worry overmuch.

| I've never heard of odd-coloured eyes being different from normal
eyes in any way but pigmentation.
Sounds as though this one will have a lot of cachet - truly unusual.
