Cat with yellow eyes: names of breeds with descriptions

Experienced owners have long noticed that yellow-eyed cats' eyes glow white in the dark, while blue-eyed cats' eyes glow red. Coat color is directly related to eye color.

Let's figure out which breeds have yellow eyes most often, and whether this affects the character of the furry pet.

Solid colored cats

Cats of solid (or solid) colors - white, black, red and blue - are characterized by copper or orange eyes.

But in animals of solid chocolate, lilac colors and, more rarely, fawn and cinnamon, eyes of lemon, golden and amber shades are quite often found.

Burmese cats are characterized by bright, expressive golden eyes.

Red cat with yellow eyes

The most common variant of a yellow-eyed cat is a ginger cat with yellow eyes, the breed of which can be absolutely any. Felinologists call such cats red, and this color, as we noted earlier, is a solid color. The shades of the fur of ginger cats can vary from cream to fiery, and the shades of the eyes - from gold to rich copper.

Pathological causes

There are hereditary disorders and diseases in which the organs of vision change color:

• genetic abnormalities;
• ophthalmological diseases.

Heterochromia is considered a congenital defect that does not affect health. Most often, unequal coloring of the right and left eyes is observed. Sometimes segments of one of the irises are colored differently. The anomaly is a consequence of uneven distribution of pigment. A high percentage of heterochromia is observed in Angora cats. The phenomenon is considered a deviation from the norm, and such individuals are excluded from breeding.

Cat breeds with yellow eyes

In addition to melanin, the intensity of coat and eye color is controlled by various genes, so sometimes fur melanocytes can be more active than those that determine eye color. To obtain the rich eye color that is sometimes required by the breed standard, breeders select cats with the most intense or unusual eye shade.

In some breeds, a variety of eye colors are acceptable, for example, in Persians we will find not only all shades of yellow, but also blue and green eyes. However, there are cat breeds with yellow eyes according to the standard.

Burmese cat

For these magnificent cats, which were kept at temples as sacred animals in Burma, the standard suggests an eye color ranging from yellow to gold. Green and blue eyes among Burmese are unacceptable.

Bombay cat

The Bombay cat was bred as a cross between the Burmese and the American Shorthair. Bright yellow-orange eyes perfectly complement the image of a miniature panther with glossy black fur. Green eyes are grounds for disqualification.

Abyssinian cat

This is one of the breeds popular among cat lovers, which can be seen quite often at exhibitions. The fur of Abyssinian cats has a characteristic ticked color - dark and light zones alternate in each hair. Although the breed standard allows green eyes, amber or orange eyes are much more common in Abyssinian cats and are very harmonious with the coat color.

British shorthair cat with yellow eyes

In the British breed, yellow or orange eye color is most often found, because most of these cats in Russia are blue in color, and an undefined color, for example, yellow-green, is considered a serious fault at exhibitions.

Not only blue, but all other solid, smoky, tortoiseshell colors of British cats are distinguished by orange or yellow eyes, as for most patterned ones, although green eyes are also allowed for some tabby colors. The group of chinchilla and Himalayan colors are characterized by green or blue eyes.

Similar to their British relatives, Scottish cats - Scottish Folds and Scottish Straights - are distinguished by their expressive eye color, which favorably emphasizes the color of their fur coat. Their eyes can be yellow, amber, orange, copper. The same can be said about Persian cats and exotics.

Using stone for magical purposes

Many psychics and sorcerers are confident that the magical properties of a cat's eye can protect a person from illness, trouble and death. Moreover, the strength of the mineral does not depend on its shade. Magicians use the stone to get rid of negative energy, cleanse the aura and restore faith in their own strength. A talisman with a mineral will help its owner change his life for the better and will attract luck, happiness and love.

2. Shades of iridescence can be different: from golden to grayish-green. The mineral resembles a real cat's eye because it contains quite a lot of minor impurities.
3. The stone is widely used in the manufacture of cufflinks, cameos, and jewelry.
4. The mineral is formed in nature and is a semi-precious stone.

You can also get a cat's eye using a synthetic method: an artificial stone is made by combining barium titanium and borosilicate glass.

Favorable time to purchase

It is better to buy jewelry from this stone after drawing up the natal chart, and special attention should be paid to which house the descending lunar node Ketu is located in.

Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius should consult an astrologer before purchasing a mineral.

If you are not confident in your ability to distinguish a real stone from a fake, and it is difficult to understand what kind of mineral is offered under the name “cat’s eye,” then it is better to use the services of an expert gemologist.

Nuances of care

Caring for cats depends on the length and thickness of the coat, the presence or absence of undercoat. A long, luxurious fur coat needs careful care. The purr with its undercoat must be combed regularly, especially in winter, when the fur grows intensively under the influence of heating devices. The same applies to periods of seasonal molting.

Hairless cats have nothing to comb; instead, owners should pay due attention to moisturizing the skin and removing sebum and sweat.

Breeders recommend accustoming animals to hygiene procedures from an early age, so that later bathing and brushing do not cause aggression.

Cats with thick undercoat are brushed with a furminator twice a week. The tool easily removes fluff, and animals do not perceive the procedure as an execution.

Persians are brushed with a slicker brush due to the special structure of their coat. The tool untangles but does not pull out airy cat fur.

Cat's eye in magic, astrology and healing

Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences Yuri Lipovsky dedicated the book “Find Your Stone” to the study of the ancient knowledge of our ancestors about the power of natural minerals. He considered the discovery of a real cat's eye an extraordinary stroke of luck. How can a stone help a person?

Stone treatment

Traditional medicine recommends using a stone with unusual natural powers for the treatment and prevention of such ailments:

• bronchial asthma, pneumonia, diseases of the throat and larynx;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• arthritis and rheumatism, joint and bone diseases;
• diseases of the blood, heart and blood vessels;
• any nervous tension, panic attacks and tics;
• eye disease “night blindness” or “night blindness”;
• bruises, hematomas, cuts and abrasions, contusions and fractures.

It is recommended to apply the stone to painful areas of the body and wear it on yourself without removing it.

How to distinguish from a fake?

Artificial cat eye

Although the natural mineral is not as expensive, synthetic cat's eye is often used. But it is not so difficult to distinguish it from the real thing.

An important property of natural cat's eye is its increased strength. It can be compared with precious rubies and sapphires in this sense.

The stone is almost impossible to damage, but it itself will easily scratch the glass.

Also, a real cat's eye glows a little in the dark. When it is wiped with a cloth, it begins to glow even more.

Synthetic stones are produced in China. Most often they have bright green and yellow shades.

Optical fiber with special dyes is used for manufacturing. Large artificial stones are a little cloudy.
