Her eyes are beautiful! Since she's still young, her eyes may not have reached their final color, but bi-color eyes are normal. Our last cat had both very light and dark green in his eyes. Many people also have different colored rings in their eyes.

That's called dichronic. It's rare to have one color surrounding another except in certain breeds. Oliver has dichronic eyes as well. His are a green ring inside of copper. 

Also, welcome to TCS!

Jackie's eyes are opposite....outside ring of coppery-yellow, inside of green :)

Coppery yellow inside of green is, I believe, hazel. 

I could be wrong, though. Check this and scroll down near the bottom. 
Were you referring to me?

Jackie's eyes aren't coppery yellow inside of green. They are green inside, with a coppery-yellow outside ring (very defined one). If you look in that link at the Dichroic part, hers are like the ones on the right.

I only said mine were the opposite of your cat's as the way I first read it it sounded like you were saying your cat's were copper inside of green...maybe you edited and I did not notice? Or maybe it is early and I misread! Jackie's eyes are the same as Oliver's.

Ah, I see. I got confused with the "inside of green," but I see now. Inside ring of green. I should slow down when I read!

I haven't edited my comment, though. So our cats have the same coloring.

Ha, well apparently I also need to slow down.  Or not read before my morning cup of tea!
