Well, I am curious because I wanna know if any of Mika's babies eyes will be blue like hers. Because none of them look like her, but I am hoping that it will be wild and they have blue eyes. I know daddy had green eyes. Because he had no Siamese in him. He was all barn cat. Neighborhood Tom. lol But when do they get their green eyes, or the eyes that they are going to have for the rest of their lives? Oh yes, my mom loved the application thing Wookie!
Thats a plus! Thank you for reading!

I just got this answered today! I was told they stay blue until they are 6 weeks old.

They start changing at around 5 1/2 weeks. This is Bonnie at just under 6 weeks, you can see the colour of her iris changing, going from the pupil outwards.

Also, kittens don't show the final adult colour of ther eyes until they're 6-9 months old but you will get some indication much earlier.

When Kingston was 10 weeks old his eyes were still blue. When I picked him up at 4 months old his eyes already changed to the gold they are now.

I was wondering the same thing, thanks for asking. My Keishas eyes are blue, and thats because shes siamese. Kalli's eyes are yellowish greenish, and I hope that somehow, her kittens eyes stay blue forever because, i love blue eyes on cats. I hope you get someon your kitties too. But there is a chance you will because of the Siamese in her.

Leo's eyes stayed blue until he was about 4 months old. It was neat to see this little orange cat with blue eyes. But gradually they changed and are now gold in color.... not sure what made them stay blue for so long, but it was certainly interesting.

My experience with my 2 cats is that with both of them their eyes were blue at 9 weeks but green by 13 weeks.
