I love cat eyes. To be honest, I love all eyes, no matter what species they happen to be on. I think eyes are just the most beautiful thing, and if they’re green? I’m done. My own dogs have huge brown eyes that I love, but if I could get my hands on a green-eyed cat…
Specifically, I want to get my hands on this green-eyed Maine Coon cat. He’s huge, and he’s so silvery it almost looks like he’s glowing. Best of all, though, he has amazing green eyes that are simply the brightest:
Wasatch Wildtail Maine Coons are all so beautiful, but this boy can’t possibly be beat. His name is Valor, and he’s one of many Maine Coons at the cattery! The way his coat almost glows means he’s a Silver Smoke Maine Coon.

That means his fur is darker at the base, but as the pigment travels up the fur, it gets lighter, with the tips being nearly white. It’s a pretty uncommon coat color, but it is so gorgeous! He was recently the father of a litter of kittens, and all of them are as beautiful as he is!
They were born in January, but Valor is not their mom, so he’s mostly excused from raising the babies. Instead, he likes to go on walks and show off his epic, super fluffy tail:
His tail is literally bigger than he is. That’s one of the main things I love about these cats: if you’re ever in dire need of a feather duster, just pick up one of these cats, and you’re good to go!
Most Common Cat Eye Colors
Valor’s green eyes are perfect in every way, but they’re not super uncommon. Green eyes occur in as much as 15% of the total cat population; they’re not the most uncommon color (that’s copper), but you won’t be hard-pressed to find one.

The most common cat eye colors are:
Certain breeds have different common eye colors, too. Ragdoll cats only have blue eyes, and most white cats also have blue eyes. Valor’s babies’ eyes are all that perfect shade of kitten blue right now, but I hope someone will grow to have his eyes in time!
