i was researching cat eye colors and was jumpscared by pangur like what is the tumblr creature doing outside of tumblr
on messybeast?
Pangur's eyes are actually pretty neat, because she comes from a line of white and pointed cats that have been selectively bred to have the bluest possible eyes!
blue in eyes is caused by structural colouration, rather than pigment (aka the physical structure of the iris reflects blue)
the intensity of colour varies quite a lot. on one end of the spectrum, there are icy eyes that appear almost white
and on the other end, there are cats like Pangur's mother, Lily. her blue was so intense that it looked unreal, even in person.
with albinism, you have an inability to produce pigment, but the structural colour remains.
in cats with weak structural colour, this results in pale pinkish eyes, like those of Stoli here
and in cats like Pangur, who have been selectively bred for the bluest blue? you get violet
died and i came back normal. more normal than before even. such a regular guy it’s freaking everyone out. i’m ironing my shirts & doing the sunday paper crossword puzzle and the people i love won’t stop crying
