Ojos Azules

Felis catus

✨ Dato Curioso

Ojos Azules means 'blue eyes' in Spanish — they're the only breed where the gene for deep blue eyes exists independently of coat color (white, colored, or patterned).

Named for their 'blue eyes' in Spanish, this breed was discovered as a feral mutation in New Mexico. A dominant gene produces intense blue eyes even in non-white cats. Extremely rare — breeding was suspended due to cranial defects linked to the gene.
