151 Perfectly Fitting Blue-Eyed Cat Names

Blue-eyed cats are some of the most unique and special felines, mainly because there are so few with this special trait! 

The most common eye color in cats is yellow or orange, which make up about 50% of all cats’ eyes. The second most common eye color is green, followed by blue, which exists in just 3-5% of the cat population. 

Just like most humans, many kittens are born with blue eyes. You’ll actually have to wait until your cat is 3 months old or older to find out if they will stay blue! But if you adopted an older cat or know your cat will have blue eyes due to its breed, here are 151 great blue-eyed cat names. 

What Gives Cats Blue Eyes?

While you may think the blue hue comes from the presence of certain chemicals or compounds, it’s actually due to the absence of melanin. Most cats with blue eyes also have white fur. Both their light fur and eye colors come from the lack of melanin in their genes. 

One interesting fact about blue-eyed cats is that many of them are deaf, specifically all-white cats with blue eyes. In fact, around 75% of cats with the all-white and blue-eye gene are born deaf. That’s because the same gene that contributes to their eye and coat color is also linked to deafness. 

What Breed Are Blue-Eyed Cats?

Blue eyes are common in Siamese and ragdoll cats, as well as any other cat breeds with white fur. Just because a cat has blue eyes, though, doesn’t automatically make it a certain breed. You’ll have to look at their fur color and markings as well.  

Siamese are the most common and recognizable of the blue-eyed cats. They have white coats and dark markings around their faces, tails, and paws. Another common breed of blue-eyed cats are ragdolls, which you may recognize by their large size and long, fluffy coats. 

Himalayans normally have blue eyes and markings similar to Siamese, with longer fur. Sassy from the movie Homeward Bound was a Himalayan cat, and she’s a great example of the gorgeous breed!

In addition to Siamese, ragdolls, and Himalayans, other blue-eyed cat breeds include Persians, Balinese, Birmans, Javanese, Colorpoint Shorthairs, and more. Cats with blue eyes can also be a mix of many different breeds.
