Hi, got my 12 week old ragdoll kitten . She looked funny around the eyes and couldn't work out what it was. Realised she looks cross eyed. Sometimes worst then others. This definitely didn't show up in any of the photos I had received and the breeder never said anything to me. I emailed her and she says it is quite common in Ragdolls and may not look as obvious as she gets older and when her head widens. Is this correct and will it look less obvious . I have 2 other Ragdolls and there eyes are great ...

First of all, what a darling, too adorable to describe kitten!! LOVE HER :))

The head widening thing...okay that's a first for me.

Never heard that one.

It doesn't seem from what I can see that one is worse than the other, they look about the same in different angles.

There is a chance that perhaps with time and growth, as well as muscle strengthening, that they will straighten out a bit more.

Theyre not bad though, and honestly I have not seen a ragdoll with crossed eyes.

A few Siamese I have, more commonly so.

I had a snowshoe siamese that had cross eyes.  We attributed her to just being a siamese, I don't think it ever caused her any vision problems or anything, just added to her already goofy personality.  Your kitty is very very adorable.
