Sometimes you see a cat who is just absolutely beautiful, crazy-beautiful. And then there are cats whose faces make you pause mid-scroll, like you can’t believe exactly how beautiful they are. This Tabby falls squarely into the second category.
In the clip, she’s just sitting there getting gentle pets, looking very pleased with herself, when she lifts her head, and suddenly, you realize something extremely unusual is happening. One eye is bright blue. The other is this wild swirl of hazel and green, like someone stirred moss into honey. It’s not dramatic or flashy. It’s just… quietly stunning in a way that makes you lean closer to your screen for no logical reason.
TikToker @wulong1997 shared the video, and viewers were immediately stunned. One person wrote that animals with heterochromia have them “in a choke hold,” which feels accurate because you really can’t stop staring. Another joked that the kitty came with a “multicolored windshield,” which is honestly a perfect description.

Someone else said her eyes looked like “an ocean smashing waves against a cliff-side mountain with a forest,” which is either the most poetic thing ever said about a cat or proof that we all collectively lose our minds over pretty animals.
Meanwhile, my Maine Coon Meatball has two perfectly normal eyes and still manages to stare at me like I personally ruined his life by not opening a fourth can of food. He also once blinked directly into a pizza box and then acted shocked that pizza in boxes exists, so we’re working with different skill sets here.
Honestly, if this cat asked me for my credit card number, I would probably just hand it over and say, “Yes, ma’am.”
What Is Heterochromia in Cats?
Heterochromia means having two different eye colors, and it’s uncommon but not unheard of in cats. Complete heterochromia is when each eye is a different color, while partial heterochromia means one eye contains multiple colors, exactly like this Tabby’s stunning hazel-green swirl.
It occurs when melanin is distributed unevenly in the iris, often because of genetics. White cats are the most commonly associated with heterochromia, but it can appear in many breeds and coat patterns.
It’s usually harmless and doesn’t affect vision at all. In fact, kitties with heterochromia are typically just as healthy, mischievous, and capable of knocking a glass off your nightstand at 3:12 a.m. as any other cat. Possibly more so. Hard to prove.
What is rare, though, is seeing three distinct colors presented so clearly in one eye. It gives this Tabby a look that’s part gemstone, part watercolor painting, part tiny woodland witch who knows your secrets but chooses peace.
