Odd-eyed cat

An odd-eyed blue and white cat
An odd-eyed cat showing complete heterochromia (amber and blue eye) and sectoral heterochromia in the blue eye (partially brown-coloured)

An odd-eyed cat has one blue eye and one eye either green, yellow, amber, or brown. This is a feline form of complete heterochromia,[1][2] a condition that occurs in some other animals, including humans. There is also sectoral (partial) heterochromia, where two different colours occur within the same iris. The condition most commonly affects solid white cats, but may be found in cats of any coat colour.[3][4][5]
