what colour eyes will my kit have once fully grown, since she is part BSH which allways have dazzling amber eyes, but also part persian, now i didnt pay much attention to mummy cats eyes but im sure they were blue'ish, so what eyes will she end up with, colour wise?

Not sure Luke...complicated thing genetics especially in cats....perhaps she could be bi-eyed?

possibly, its hard to sort of define at the moment as her eyes are turning fromt he kitten blue and they are sort of amber but they do have a slight hint of Blue around the pupil, not too sure :?

How old is she Luke?
I generally find with blue eyed animals that the eyes or eye that will be blue is a piercing blue not the sort of puppy/kitteny blue if you know what I mean. You can just tell by looking if the eyes will be blue ...well that's what I've found in dogs anyhow. I have a friend who breed's Siberian Husky's and occasionally she gets blue eyed pups..

she will be 10 weeks old on Saturday, her eyes are what i would describe as 'hazeley' its sort of a greenish amber, but with warmths of Blue illuminating her pupils and such, so not to sure

My guess is she will have amber eyes...but don't hold me to it ;)

i would guess that blue is not a dominant gene so there for both parents would have to carry it so i would guess they would be Amber

Colourpoint Persians have blue eyes, Chinchilla Persians have green eyes and the others have orange eyes, so take your pick!:D
