My boyfriend got Stash when he was 8weeks old, he had blue eyes which as he got a little older changed color to brown. Stash is about 4 months old now, and i was just looking at his eyes and they look like they are turning green. Can kittens eyes change color more then once?

I think they only change color once, but they don't just change overnight from blue to green. They do it slowly, so they look kinda brown as they change. My babies are eight weeks old today, and they no longer have blue eyes. They look brownish, but I am pretty sure the tortie's eyes will turn green and they orange boys eyes will turn gold (like Uncle Garfield's eyes)!

Actually, when CJ was little, she had bright blue eyes. We noticed that her right eye changed color to green, then orange. Her remaining blue eye is normally completely blue, but sometimes it'll have an orange outline, and sometimes that outline will be big. So, yes, they can change more than once.

Hmmm. I'm convinced that my Baylee's eyes turned green when they previously were yellow... and considering that her eyes were most likely blue like every other kitten when she was born... I say yes. But I'm no expert and could probably be proven wrong!
