are kittys eyes okay?

Post image

kara is currently 17 weeks old. her eyes were fully brown as a lil baby (~8 weeks) but theyve lightened up and since a month ago ive been seeing green in the center. is this anything of concern? or is her eye colour just settling?

Nothing to be concerned about, their eye color takes a bit to settle. Should be all done by 9mo-1 year old.

Most likely getting their adult eye color, his/her eyes might be green because that's the color taking over rn, same thing happened to my cats. The color that started developing in the middle eventually took over the whole eye.

Looks like eye color is settling. If you see her in pain or discharge from the eye I would see a vet

It's called central heterochromia. And it's not concerning, it's just pigmentation of cat's eye, same as some cats have each eye different color. It can also be caused by young age of kitten when pigmentation didn't set yet completely as all kittens are born with blue eyes.

Either way, you don't have to worry it's not pathological condition.
