The cause of heterocoria in cats is determined by genetic influences during development. Stem cells migrate to different parts of the body and differentiate into special types of cells at specific locations. Some of the stem cells migrate through the embryo, stop transferring in the eye, and become melanocytes. In some cases, the melanocytes cannot reach one of the eyes. One eye is green, amber, etc., the other is blue.

Tips:

Although the eyes of cats with different pupils are different in color, it has no effect on the cat’s vision. However, the cat is more sensitive to light, so daily Please avoid shining strong light sources directly into the eyes of cats with different pupils, otherwise it may cause damage to the cat's eyes. Secondly, it is clinically found that cats with heterocoria have poor hearing, which often occurs on the side of the abnormal eye or in both ears. Please pay attention to these issues when choosing a cat with different pupils to avoid regrets after choosing.
