I have 2 cats I rescued in the same area a couple of years ago. They are both unusual with the colors of Siamese but not the patterns. They both have striking blue eyes! I nickname their eyes as Frank Sinatra eyes. I had no clue that ojo Azul was a thing. I'm curious if they might belong to this category. They don't have the same mother but it's possible they have the same father? One was from the litter of an indoor/outdoor cat from a neighbor. The other showed up in my yard around the same year.
Not every cat who has blue eyes, and a non-white coat, is an ojos azules cat. The ojos azules gene is characterized by intensely blue eyes, with a striking black rim. It is also a dominant gene. That means that any offspring, will also have the ojos azules gene. Many cats are born with blue eyes, but the gene they carry is not dominant. It’s also possible for cats to have other dominant blue eye mutations, that is not the specific ojos azules gene. Any cat that is born with a dominant blue eye mutation, will be very valuable to breeders. Theoretically, this cat could be used to start a new breed. Dominant blue eye mutations are incredibly rare in cats.
I have a stray cat I've been trying to figure out her breed- she's white, black ears and black tail, light tan stripes on her legs and bright blue eyes---- she must belong in this category- but maybe a mix too?
Sounds like a colourpoint cat. They also have blue eyes. Ojos Azules are extinct and did not have blue eyes due to the colourpoint-gene but due to the Ojos Azules-gene.
There’s a cat in my neighborhood that is this breed. He’s owned by someone at a different apartment complex but loves to wander around the neighborhood. He’s very friendly and sweet. His owner named him Tyrant but I don’t see what’s so tyrannical about him. Must be an ironic misnomer.
Вы где проживаете? В России нет питомников, я читала, может у кого-то живут редкие экземпляры, как у меня, случайно, появился такой котёнок(кошечка 3 мес). Она обычная серая, чуть полоски на лапах(как на последней фотке, в этом ролике), но глаза у неё голубые. Ведь, не исключены мутации и у наших обычных кошек, как в штате Нью-Мексико, просто люди не обращают внимание. Я более 15 лет занимаюсь кошками, мне и раньше попадались рыжие коты с голубыми глазами, я удивлялась этому, потому что глаза должны быть жёлтыми у таких "рыжиков," и только, когда у меня оказалась обычная полосатая кошечка с такими глазами, я решила "порыться" в интернете и выяснить про эту аномалию с глазами - так и узнала, что это порода названа Охос Азулес. Сегодня сниму видео со своей кошечкой.
When did that happen? If it was a kitten with blue eyes and the color changed to something other than blue around two months, that may have just been a regular cat, cats are born with blue eyes and gain their eye color as they grow up and develop melanocytes in their eyes. If it changed when your cat was an adult, then I don’t know what’s going on, I only have a basic understanding of cat genetics tbh. Either way I’m sure it’s a fluffy little friend!
my cat i think is this! she has grey striped fur with an orange nose and blue eyes. shes beautiful

Haha and he's not even pronouncing it right
My teacher has a completely black cat who has blue eyes and the cat is 8 months old, I wonder if the cat's eyes color can still change 🤔
There was an all black kitten up for adoption with blue eye. Unfortunately someone got her before me.

Did anybody else’s ojos azules cat change color with age ?
