Why did my cat's bright green eyes turn dull and yellowish-orange?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

A memory came up on Facebook from when we first adopted our daughter's cat. Her eyes were bright green when we adopted her. Now they are much duller and have a yellowish orange tinge to them. It must have happened gradually because I never noticed until I saw the pictures and remembered.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rajah. It is not uncommon for eye color to change a bit as kittens and puppies mature. The change you have observed is likely not problematic, but you can attach a picture from then and now if you would like more insight. I hope this information helps!
