Eye Color Question

[jason24]

I have an 8 week old silver smoke tabby and his eyes are grey what color will they be?

What color are his parents' eyes?

 

[jason24]

I'm not sure I didn't get to see his mother but I know she is a black calico. She came from a shelter pregnant so I'm not sure about the father either.

If you don't know the eye color of the parents, his eyes could turn out to be green, yellow, gold, orange or copper. He is too young to know for sure. It will be a surprise!

When will they start to change?

 

[lutece]

Eye color will change slowly over time. Here are pictures of a kitten's eyes changing from blue-gray to gold. In this case, the kitten is about 5 months old in the last picture, but eye color can continue to change for several months after that.
