Susan I have two that have marble to sea pearl green , the Calico Kitten , and the 14 yr old ,
Long way to Yes , it does Smiling
The eye color seems to change on either , the calico looks like she has dark hard black eye color , until you see her in bright light ,
The older 14 yr old , looks like he has flat color eyes , until you see him in full natural light , their pearl sea green , real brightly that . one kitten has Blue eyes , they look yellowish inside ,
the other female has the greenish -yellow standard flat color eyes ,
Their father the feral has real bright blue eyes ..

Sun is the thing I miss most during winters. Ours are usually overcast and gray most of the time unless it's really cold with high barometric pressure. I have been known to seek out any afternoon sunshine by sitting in the sun in the west-facing living room.

Dyanisme ,, That is what you saw and read Smiling Thank You! I was reading reading a few of your posts on those threads also , I am watching a few too many to keep up with ,
23 degrees with an 11 degree chill this morning

Susan and Cindy It was Sunny here for a while yesterday at 15 degrees , Sometimes rel cold days will be extra sunny ,, Nice for houseplant , Maybe some vitamin D making in front of a window for us . But it is still cold outside Thank You!
Nothing personal to cold weather polar bear crowd , But I hate weather below 20 degrees , Ice at 30 ain't much fun either

It's 31° in Wichita at the moment. Expected high today is 58°. That's insane. Tomorrow we're supposed to get up to 43 and will continue to chill down through Sunday, when we have an expected high of 30°.

Most of the snow has melted after yesterday's "balmy" weather. It was in the upper 40's here with sunshine! Back to gloomy skies today with falling temps this afternoon.
