Felinologists recommend purchasing purring pets at the age of 3 months. Such a baby is already ready to be introduced into a loving family. It is easy to educate him and accustom him to the lifestyle of the people with whom he will live a long, happy life.
Often future breeders are interested in what breed of cats has yellow eyes. This question is relevant, since up to six months all kittens have blue eyes. The true color of the iris appears as the baby grows, when pigment begins to be produced. If you want to have a handsome yellow-eyed dog, decide which breeds have this characteristic most often.
Eyes and fur
Kittens are born blue-eyed. Only after 6 months can you understand what color they will finally acquire. It is expected that yellow-eyed cats and female cats will have the same offspring. However, you can make assumptions based on color:
- Monocolor. Solid-colored cats often have yellow and orange eyes. They are usually found in animals with black, white or red fur. Brown and lilac beauties often become owners of lemon or golden irises.
- Haze. Smoky colors are not the most common. With it, the hair at the root starts with white and goes in a gradient to the tip to the main color of the animal. Most often, orange and bright yellow eyes are found in blue and black smoke cats.
- Tricolor "turtle". Cats with this coloring always have a yellowish iris, regardless of breed. However, this only applies to females, because three-colored cats do not exist in nature.
- With an image. Cats can boast different patterns: tabby, mackerel, spotted, blotched, etc. But with this color, the eyes are rarely rich - rather yellow-green, hazel or copper.
Why dream about a yellow cat, dream about a yellow cat in a dream
The cat is one of the most difficult symbols that one has to deal with when deciphering dreams. The thing is that the image of a cat can appear in a dream for many reasons, and it is almost never possible to determine exactly how our subconscious worked at the moment when we saw a small kitten, a Siamese cat or an affectionate cat.
Perhaps in reality we encountered an amazing person who, despite all the difficulties, managed to avoid a seemingly imminent danger. After all, looking at precisely such people, we remember the folk wisdom: “He falls on his feet like a cat.”
The appearance of a cat in a dream can also be facilitated by meeting an independent, independent and slightly frivolous woman. And this is no coincidence, because in real life we call such a woman “a cat that walks on its own.”
Or perhaps the image of a cat in a dream arose as a result of the fact that memories of how the cat washed itself were deposited in our subconscious: the folk sign “The cat washes its face for guests” is no secret to anyone.
A cat can appear in a dream even when we are watching with pleasure how a young guy caresses and plays with a cat: after all, it’s rare that another folk wisdom does not come to mind at this moment: “He who loves cats will love his wife.”
What if we dreamed of a cat, as a warning of impending danger (after all, during the day we were very worried when a black cat crossed our path)?
As for those human qualities that characterize a cat, they are, without a doubt, known to everyone. This is cunning, deceit and malice.
But at the same time, we must not forget that in ancient times cats were deified and considered special animals. This means that any dream in which you saw a cat is prophetic. The most important thing is to be able to decipher it correctly.
Watching a cat wash itself in a dream means guests. It is possible that you will meet old good friends with whom you will have a great time.

Perhaps such a dream indicates that there are vain people around you who will bring you great misfortune.
If in a dream a black cat crossed your path, then in reality you should beware of dangers. Such a dream also suggests that you overestimate your strength, and therefore you should not refuse the help of friends.

Petting a cat sitting on your lap in a dream is a sign that in your environment there is a not entirely decent, frivolous woman who will greatly let you down by taking advantage of your trust.

Seeing a dead cat in a dream is a bad omen. Apparently, you will learn about the illness of someone close to you.
Yellow-eyed standard
There are several breeds where the presence of yellow eyes is defined by the standard:
Burmanskaya. Burmese cats have long been considered sacred animals and were kept at temples. This is an interesting breed with a smooth, somewhat rounded build and a warm coat color ranging from sandy to chocolate. The standard allows only yellow eyes, albeit of varying intensities. Blue or green are a definite marriage.
Bombay. Bombay cats appeared after crossing the Burmese and American Shorthair. The physique resembles the Burmese, but differs in color. They have black shiny, almost varnished wool. With such saturation, their eyes acquire a pronounced amber color. Other variations are disqualification.
Abyssinian. Flexible and muscular beauty with visible ticking. Very often these cats have yellow and orange eyes. However, the standard also allows green ones. But amber, as a rule, predominates.
British Shorthair. Large and dense British cats are truly royal cats. This is one of the few breeds where you can see bright orange eyes that look like the setting sun. This color is usually accompanied by a smoky, blue or tortoiseshell coat.
Yellow eyes are also found in other breeds. For example, among the Persians, exotics and Scots. However, their standards provide for different combinations. This means that it is much more difficult to predict which kitten’s eyes will change to yellow. Therefore, if you want to have such an animal, it is better to contact a trusted breeder.

Cat breeds with yellow eyes
The shade of eyes and fur in cats depends on the number of melanocytes - cells that are responsible for the production of coloring pigment. The more of them, the richer the coat and the color of the iris. However, cats do not have black or brown eyes. This is typical only for people. In cats, the deep copper color of the iris may be the most pronounced.
Interesting! All kittens are blue-eyed at birth. The true color appears only at the age of six months or even later.
Yellow irises are most often found in cats of a certain color:
- Monocolor. Such cats often have copper or even orange eyes. The color in this case is usually white, red, black or blue. A chocolate or lilac hue is an indication that the cat will have golden, lemon or amber eyes.
- Ginger. Cats with this coloring can belong to different breeds. Interestingly, the intensity of the color affects the intensity of the color of the pupils. Ginger (breeders call them "red") cats can be pale cream or bright fiery. And the color of the eyes in this case will vary from golden to copper.
- Smoky. This color is quite rare. The hairs at the roots are white and, as they move towards the tip, they are colored with a gradient in the main color of the animal's coat. Most often, cats with black smoke and blue smoke colors have gold and orange pupils.
- Cats with patterns on their fur. The pattern can be very different: tabby, spotted, mackerel or blotched. However, it will not be possible to predict exactly what shade the pupils will be. Tabby cats can have green-yellow, hazel, and copper eyes.
- Tricolor or “tortoiseshell”. Whatever breed the animal belongs to, it will definitely have yellowish pupils.
Important! There are no tricolor cats. This coloring is the exclusive prerogative of females.
There are a number of cat breeds for which the presence of yellow eyes is mandatory according to the standard.
Burmanskaya
Previously, Burmese cats were kept at temples as sacred animals. And the standard of these exotic beauties assumes only yellow eyes. Although small variations up to gold are acceptable. A blue or green tint is a defect in the breed.
Bombay
Bombays are the result of crossing a Burmese and an American Shorthair. The black coat of these beauties makes their rich orange eyes even brighter. Green pupils are a reason for disqualification in this breed.
Abyssinian
Quite a popular breed today with a typical ticked color, in which dark and light areas of the coat alternate. The breed standard allows for green eyes, but amber or orange are much more common in Abyssinians.
British Shorthair
Another cat with yellow eyes is the British Shorthair. The yellow or orange iris in this breed is usually accompanied by a blue, smoke, or tortoiseshell coloration.
Interesting! Other potential owners of yellow pupils are Scottish and Persian cats, as well as exotic cats. However, the standards for these breeds allow for irises of different colors.
