I thought most human babies were all born with blueish eyes  which also change at a certain age :-:

I remember my mum saying that all babies born north of the equator were born with blue eyes, and babies south had brown eyes. That's not allowing for racial types. I guess cats might be the same..? :-:

You are both right,eyes begin to change colour at 6weeks sometimes a day or two earlier but permanent eye colour is seen at 12weeks.

Kitten Blue Eyes - when do they change?
« Reply #1 on: September 12, 2007, 20:15:53 PM »
I've been meaning to ask this for ages. I was 12 the last time I had a kitten and to be honest at that age I was lucky to remember my own eye colour let alone the cats.

Seeing so many babies on these threads with those GORGEOUS blue eyes, I just wondered at what age they start to change eye colour to the permanent colour?

I have to say that if Lexy had been with me as a kitten, knowing her as she is now, well I would have been sunk if I had a gander at a Baby Lexy with blue eyes. She would get away with much more than she does now that's for sure.

If a man had that colour eyes and decided to charm me... well, he wouldn't have to try hard that's for sure  :evillaugh:

Is it just me who falls apart at how gorgeous their eyes are? The kittens not men  :evillaugh:
