I've tried looking for it online everywhere but they all have different answers.  Is there a certain age when the kittens eye colors change to their permanent color?  I have 3 6 week old kittens all with blue eyes.  One is black with black stripes (if that makes any sense) and 2 are orange striped with a little bit of white.  This is the only pic I could find of all 3 kittens (w/ mama).

I think it's anywhere from like 6-9 weeks they start changing, so they should probably start changing soon if they are not going to stay blue.

My boys are seven weeks and both now have green eyes instead of the original baby-blue.

My kittens are 6 weeks and their eyes are still blue but are beginning to change. You can kind of see it in this picture of Wiley..

In this first one he was 5 weeks, his eyes are really blue...



And this picture was just yesterday, you can see around his pupils they are getting more of a green color...

It's so fun to watch their eyes change color!

After 6 weeks they start to change. Green can take 2 years to come in fully.

The black kitten probably has ghost tabby markings, many solid coloured kittens have that and will outgrow as the adult coat comes in. The other 2 are Red Mackeral Tabbies. Mum is a black tortie. Very pretty family.
