Cats
deformities if a kitten inherits 2 copies of the mutated gene. In this breed, the eye colour is
independent of the coat colour. Other blue eye mutations that are independent of coat colour
crop up from time to time. To date, most have been a pale blue rather than an intense blue and
none of these other mutations have been deliberately bred.
A grey bicolour (tuxedo pattern) cat with intense sapphire blue eyes was found on a country
road in Windellama, New South Wales, Australia by A M Schnieder. Since the Ojos Azules
has not been imported into Australia, this represents a spontaneous mutation among the feral
population. Whether it is the same as the American Ojos Azules mutation is not known.
GREEN AND AQUA
Green ranges from a yellowish-green through gooseberry-green to deeper greens and blue-
toned greens. Some of the older standards spoke of grass-green eyes, indicating the green be
as rich as possible. Green tints and flecks also appear in some hazel brown eyes.
