Two of Tehya's kittens are what looks like blue-point Siamese. The little girl seems to have the Siamese "defect" (sorry forget what its called exactly) where the pupils of their eyes are farther apart, and not centered like they should be. Does this affect their eyesight at all? If it does, I would probably like to keep this kitten instead of giving her away when they are old enough. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!

Most of my Siamese in the past were completely Old Style, having both crossed eyes and kinked tails.

Aside from cataracts in their old age, none of them ever had any vision problems.

Congrats on the babies by the way
