Sectoral heterochromia, also segmental heterochromia, in cats (domestic cats) is when each eye is made up of two colours: blue and orange or yellow in various densities and intensities. Usually heterochromia (full name ‘heterochromia iridium’) presents as one eye being blue and the other being orange or orange/yellow – called ‘odd-eyed’ or ‘odd-eye’ cat. …
On the basis that this photograph is genuine, which I believe it is, this is a very strange odd-eyed cat. In fact the cat should be odd-eyed but has bicolor eyes instead. I’ll explain why I think that this is strange. White cats sometimes have one eye which is blue and the other which …
I am convinced that this video tells us that the domestic cat sees this optical illusion as we do, namely that it moves – in fact the wheels rotate. And in moving, this charming cat wants to play with it and attack it in a slightly half-hearted way. I am reproducing the same optical …

Coby is a pure white, British Shorthair with the most brilliant and dazzling azure eyes (the colour of the sky on a clear summer’s day). Can we agree that this cat has the most beautiful eyes amongst all the cats that we have seen on the Internet? I’m not saying that he has the …
I like this. I saw the eyes. It is not that tricky. How long did it take you to see the cat’s eyes? You see it? Posted by Power 95.3 on Monday, April 22, 2013 It took me about five seconds to see the eyes.
Rather than focusing on the anatomy of the eyes of cats and humans, I’d like to focus on a comparison of cat and human eyes with reference to their function: what their eyes can see and do. The domestic cat has a better field of vision than his human companion. The field of vision …
