😶 What color is your cat's eyes?

  • 👀 Cats can have a variety of eye colors, including blue, green, amber, and even gold.
  • 👀 A cat's eye color can change as they age. Kittens are usually born with blue eyes, which may gradually change to their permanent color as they grow older, typically by around three months of age.
  • 👀 The color of a cat's eyes can also be influenced by genetics, with some breeds like Siamese having striking blue eyes throughout their lives.
  • 👀 Some cats can have different colored eyes, a condition known as heterochromia - a disruption in melanin production that leads to a blue and yellow eye. This can result in one eye being blue and the other yellow, or even other color combinations like amber and green.

One of Hurricane Helene's victims: Ceiba pentandra - Kapok tree, our newly planted tree was blown by the wind...

We fixed it! We are lucky the tree hasn't grown as big as the mature specimen on the second 📸 - that would be a slightly bigger job to pick up!
