To the best of my knowledge, an albino mammal must have pink eyes. I know this is true of birds and reptiles. I also know it is true of smaller rodent type mammals such as: mice, rats, hedgehogs, and so on. This is a website, that seems to indicate my suspicions are correct:http://www.messybeast.com/whitecat.htm.
His mom is Siamese but he is like 3 to 4 months so I dont think his fur is gonna change, his sister was Siamese and the other two in the litter were black

he is not albino. all albinos are white with RED eyes! he is cute!
Thank you for your input. I do have to ask, how did you find out what my name is? I do not mind, just very curious.He is a beautiful cat. I agree with Mattie about the eyes. Albino people have pink eyes, which are very sensitive to light. I had a pair of albino mice, and they too had pink/red eyes.
Bold added in quote for emphasis.ALBINISM, OCULOCUTANEOUS TYPE I (PINK-EYED ALBINO)
Type: impairing, autosomal recessive
Part of the colourpoint series of genes, pink-eyed albino is the most recessive of the albino alleles. Until compartively recently there was doubt whether it truly exists in cats due to the structure of the cat’s eye (blue-eyed albino also exists in cats). Associated with photosensitivity and poor immune system.
Since you reference messybeast, I shall too.
