Unusual? Kittens have brown eyes

NightOwl, 10 November, 2008 at 13:29 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 17

Both my kittens(siblings) have brown eyes and I can't remember ever seing that colour on a cats eyes before. Does anyone know if it is unusual and will it change when they get older perhaps? They are 12 weeks now.

    What breed are they? I've never heard of it before, but I only have experience of mogs.

    They are mogs..I think! They are rescue kittens born to a stray cat in someones garage and then handed in to a cat charity.

    I think they might have siamese in them looks wise and they are very vocal and clever(read sneaky ?). I have googled and cant find anything on cats with brown eyes.

    I used to have 2 moggies (both black) and they had brown/amber eyes. I never really thought anything of it except that they were beautiful.

    The ones I have now (9 weeks) have grey eyes but if their mother is anything to go by, they'll change to bright green before long! ?

    My kittens eyes are also brown, although amber in certain lights. I think it's because they are brown tabs, that the eyes look browner than they would on other fur. Mine are half bengal, half bsh

    Aww Nun, they are beyond cute!

    I think all kittens are born with blue eyes and then they start to change around 8 weeks or so? They can stay blue or change in to green, yellow,grey, amber and sometimes orange. And I guess sometimes brown!

    Sorry, I have spent the evening chasing the little buggers around trying to take photos of them! The result is mixed to say the least..some chopped off ears in the photos etc and the eye colour does not seem to look as dark with the flash! Here they are anyway:

    Red eyes, yes..they are so frigging naughty they were bound to be Basement Kittehs!

    The eyecolour came out lighter in the photos, it looks dark brown IRL! Maybe it is changing in to yellow?

    Nightowl I cant see your pictures

    My kitten has light brown eyes. All my other cats have had green or yellow eyes.

    Not sure how unusual it is but certainly cute!

    Im at home and can see your gorgeous kitten now!

    Extensive googling says that apparently all shades of brown are very rare in cats eyes! ?
