see an unusual persian-siamese in slide show at: http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?collectionId=1025 eat your heart-out, Gregor Mendel, and i never really fully grasped the basic genetics theories anyhow > see an unusual persian-siamese in slide show at: > http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?collectionId=1025 > eat your heart-out, Gregor Mendel, and i never really fully grasped > the basic genetics theories anyhow These were interesting, and in some cases, beautiful photographs, but I did not see a single cat in any of them, nor was there anything at all related to genetics. This was a series of photos of people in many parts of Africa. There were a few animal photos (a camel, a bird, a goat), but no cats. Perhaps you sent us the wrong link?

All pictures of people in different parts of Africa, I swear!! :) I saw the kitty this time. Also, I love the Pavarotti guy! Joyce >"A two-year-old female cat with different coloured eyes looks into the >camera in Riyadh September 6, 2007. The cat is a mixture of Persian and >Siamese and has one brown eye and one blue." Dave has one brown eye and one blue but I don't think he's part Persian and part Siamese!

She normally wears glasses, so I hadn't noticed her eyes that much - reflections from the glasses etc. But one time at the company X-mas dinner she wasn't wearing her glasses, and I did a double take... First I thought she'd played a joke on us with different colour contacts, but she said no, they were that colour and to look her in the eyes come work day. :) SignatureChristine in Laitila, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/christal63/ photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 >> Dave has one brown eye and one blue but I don't think he's part >> Persian and part Siamese! > I have blue eyes that are turning green (and not with envy, either!). > Does that make me part cat?

He's blond, so it sticks out a lot. All doesn't mean that there's no biological explanation for it. > My cousin Billy has what we variously call "David Bowie eyes" or > "Siberian husky eyes"-- one brown and one blue. The first descriptor is one you could actually sing - can you do a good Kim Carnes? :) Joyce > My cousin Billy has what we variously call "David Bowie eyes" Bowie's different coloured eye is a result of trauma someone threw a dart in his eye (I think) when he was a kid rather than a genetic matter Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Lesley kirjoitti: >> My cousin Billy has what we variously call "David Bowie eyes" > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Bowie's eyes are both blue, but one pupil is permanenty dilated due to a fight and makes that eye look darker.

My highschool roommate and mismatched eyes. One brown and one part brown and part green. It is very common in dogs that might have blue eyes, such as husky's and border collies and Australian Shepherds. I'm sure blue eyed dogs are perfectly nice, but they give me the creeps.

Because for the most part I adore dogs. Unless of course they give me a reason not to. Maybe because the first blue eyes dogs I saw were Alaskan sled dogs, and some of them are pretty near wild. (I'm not talking the professional dog sled team dogs here) After we moved here it was usually Australian Shepherds, and they were usually standing guard in the back of someone's pickup truck. Pickup truck guard dogs have a tendency to sleep unless someone walks too close to the truck, at which point they stand up and scare the daylights out of you. Not fun if you happen to be in the parking lot getting into your own car at the time. Jo |
