Every person—cat lover or not—can admit, cats have some truly stunning peepers. Cat eyes can come in a wide range of colors, and it seems that no two are ever exactly the same. There are shiny black cats with green eyes like crocodiles, gorgeous Siamese with eyes so blue they mirror the clear sky, jade green, gold, yellow, orange, really, the possibilities are endless.
