Hello!

Hi! I'm new to the cat site. My name's Artemis and I have to admit I've always been a dog person. But, about a year ago my husband and I saw a craigslist ad about some kittens. The Mom had died and they were extremely tiny and cute. So, I went and picked out one of them and ended up bringing him home. He wasn't litter box trained so we had to keep him in a large dog kennel at night with a litterbox and we had to bottle feed him. He was also a little, weird... which thankfully he's grown out of. But, now I'm a dog person who loves her cat Monk!

I do have a question though, when we first brought Monk home his eyes were blue. Which is what I expected since he was so young (the vet estimated at around 4 weeks) and when he got older they turned a light orangy-yellow. Now, though, they're slowly turning green. In the picture below he's about 1 year old. And you can see the "green" aound his pupils (it looks blueish in this picture). He's now 1 1/2 years and the green has spread more. Has anyone heard of that happening with a cat?



Sorry, I didn't have a good camera back then. This is monk when he was about 4-5 months. His eyes in this picture are a little darker looking than they really were but, no hint of green.



And then Monk 2 weeks after we brought him home with his blue eyes.

Hi Artemis,

Welcome to you and Monk. He is very handsome. I've never seen the color change. It's great of you to have adopted him. It's also good to be a dog and cat lover. I've had both throughout my life and they're great. How old is monk now. Do you have any other pets.

Hi and welcome to TCS!
Monk is a little cutie. I don't know about his eye colour change, other than it's very pretty! Perhaps if you post in the Care & Grooming forum someone would know.

Hi and thank you! Monk is about 1 1/2 years now and he's our only pet for now.

Monk is so sweet, you may want another sweetie in the future

Oh so cute!!  Reminds me of my Noodles when she was tiny!  Most tiny gray cats do...they've got a special place in my heart. hehe

I've never seen them do that either.  I agree with Pushylady; I think someone in either the care and grooming section might know or have seen it before.

Sooooo  cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think we'll have more than 1 cat at a time. Though, we wouldn't mind adding a dog to the family. We tend to have our family's dogs over every once in a while and he seems to get along with them pretty well. And tiny gray cats are extremely cute!
