   What is heterochromia in cats?

   • It can result in any number of unusual eye colour combinations, such as one blue eye and one gold eye or one green eye and one blue for instance. For our feline friends, heterochromia occurs when a white spotting gene, linked to coat colour, blocks the distribution and concentration of pigment in the iris during development.

   Why do cats with heterochromia have blue eyes?

   • Because blue eyes are caused by the absence of pigment, cats with heterochromia always have one blue eye. The key point is this: if pigment is present in the eye, colors like green, brown and yellow are seen. If there is no pigment in the eye, the color of the eye is blue. So blue means “no pigment is present”.

   Can Black Cats have heterochromia?

   • It may be present in one or both eyes. Yes, black cats can have heterochromia, too! Heterochromia is more likely to occur in domestic cats with either all-white or bi-color coats. This is because the same genes and mutations that inhibit melanin in the fur (dominant white and white spotting genes, albinism, etc.) can also act upon the eyes.

   Heterochromia in cats occurs due to variations in pigmentation within the iris, which is the colored portion of the eye. The iris contains a layer of cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin. The amount and distribution of melanin determine the eye color.

   Congenital heterochromia may be due to mosaicism in which two distinct populations of cells arise from one fertilised egg, or chimerism in which two zygotes merge early on in the development stage. This possibly explains heterochromia in solid coloured cats who don’t carry the white spotting gene.

   Jul 12, 2019 · Heterochromia can be genetic or acquired through disease or injury. Some experts say Venus may be a “feline chimera,” meaning her cells contain two types of DNA, caused when two embryos fuse together. Her one blue eye—while rare in cats—is typical of cases of complete heterochromia.
