Okay. I heard somewhere that all kittens eyes are blue when they are first born, but from 3-12 weeks you can see the adult eye color come through. I know a lot of kittens have been born in the last two months. What color are your kittens eyes, and how can you tell when they've settled into their adult color?

My cat had 8 kittens last year. Their eyes were sort of a dark slate blue for about 4 weeks or so, and at about 5 weeks I could tell that one of them would be odd-eyed, and the rest green/gold. But it took about 6 months or more for some of them to get their final, deep true color (mostly the gold/copper-eyed ones.)

I was really wondering because they all have these really pretty blue/green/brown color. It is like a mix. None of them have the gold like their mama. They will be six weeks old Saturday and it is still the same.

One of our kittens - 13 to 14 weeks now - has brown eyes. The others are goung for gold or green but hers are deep brown. I have never seen that on a cat before has anyone else?
