A cat with blue eyes is one of the most beautiful sights, but not especially rare if they keep their blue eyes their whole life. So here are eight fantastic cat breeds that have blue eyes naturally in their genes.
8 Cat Breeds That Have Blue Eyes
Siamese Cat
The Siamese cats are known for their blue eyes, mottled fur, and pointed ears. The Siamese is a white cat with blue eyes. Their coat color is also partly creme color, with a black face. The dark face makes the incredible blue eyes more prominent.
The Siamese cat is lean, with long legs and tails. However, their elegant movements are a sight to behold if you encounter one or want to own one yourself.
Balinese Cat
The Balinese, whose ancestor is a Siamese cat, is slightly different from the Siamese cat’s appearance, but its character has many similarities with the Siamese.
You will find the most common colors similar to the Siamese cat: seal, blue, lilac, and chocolate. These are the official breed standards colors by CFA.
For example, the Balinese also have white fur with blue eyes like their predecessors, but with a long silky coat instead, which makes them a bit softer to the touch. Their markings are similar to the famous Siamese but with longer fur.
The Balinese cat is known to be intelligent, affectionate, and moves with grace.
Ragdoll Cat
Anyone who sees the Ragdoll cat gleaming sapphire blue eyes and silky fur instantly falls in love. Famous for its blue eyes, the Ragdoll is among the world’s giant domestic cat breeds.
Originally bred and developed in the 1960s, they got the name ‘Ragdoll’ because of their limp and relaxed state when they get picked up.
The Ragdoll breed is distinguishable for its thick coat, long tail, ‘dog-like’ behavior, and relaxed state of mind.
Burmese Cat
The Burmese cat is a brown cat known for its sapphire-blue eyes that make people feel as if they are glimpsing into the depths of their souls.
Their eye color can range from blue, yellow-green, golden, or even green.
Himalayan Cat (Colorpoint Persian)
The Himalayan Persian is a blue-eyed cat breed that emerged due to the combination of Persian and Siamese cats. It has a pretty similar fur color as the original Siamese cat but with a longer-haired coat. The main difference is its shorter snout, which gives it a rounder face.
Turkish Van Cat
The breed can be distinguished by its long-haired coat and white color with colored patches only on its head and tail. The coat also has a unique feel and is ‘waterproof,’ which explains why Turkish Van cats love water. In addition, they have large walnut-shaped eyes that can be amber, blue, or a mix of both.
Ojos Azules Cat
Ojos Azules originated in New Mexico. The most striking features of these cats are their blue eyes and the color of their coat. Ojos Azules cats always have blue eyes, even with different coat point coloration combinations. This separates them from other cat breeds since Ojos Azules can have a coat color other than white but still have blue eyes.
Ojos Azule’s blue eyes have an even deeper color, more significant than the Siamese Cat, but they are a rare cat breed with blue eyes.
Angora Cat
Angora cat is a pure breed originating from Turkey. Angora cats’ eyes are large and round. Although their eye color is usually blue, the eyes of some of them can be in different mixtures, such as green-yellow, blue-green, and amber-yellow.
