At what age do kittens' eyes usually change from blue over to the color
they're going to be? I haven't dealt w/ very young kittens in about 17
years, & don't remember.

When I had a young kitten of undetermined age whose eyes were changing
color, I think I read that the change happens at 8-12 weeks, which
seemed appropriate for her other physical signs.

Kittens with true blue eyes can be identified when the eyes first
open. They are *much* more "blue" - a much lighter and brighter tone
- than kittens with green or gold eyes.

These kittens' eyes are the regular baby blue eyes of kittens before they
change color. I was just wondering at what age they change over, since
guessing the kittens' age is involved.

2 of My cats are Ragdolls so of course have blue eyes but one has really
beautiful turquoise eyes, the others eyes are almost grey blue.
