Hi, this is Wombat from Windellama, I am going in for my desexing today, the Ojos Azules breed is stuffed and they have missed out on the opportunity for me to have blue eyed kittens. I could have added new blood to the breed but now I never will. I resume my life as a pet - feral moggies of the world unite against these pretentious breed societies - we are just as pretty as any of your inbred, expensive freaks!

Unregistered cats by: Anonymous
Hi,
Thanks for the posts after mine. I agree; it seems as if this is an Ojos Azules but further research needs to be done. This is a rare cat but that is on the basis of registered (with cat associations) Ojos Azules. There may be more unregistered than we think.
Thanks though for the original submission and the comments.

do not desex wombat!!! by: Anonymous
If Wombat is an ojos azules then the earlier post would be right. But that is not for sure. Wombat could have a separate mutation for blue eyes. Perhaps this mutation does not carry the deformities of ojos azules. If there is a way to find out i suggest you try it, but do not breed this cat to a ojos azule because if it indeeed is the same mutation it could be fatal to the litter. I do not know any other way to find out besides genetic testing, which is expensive. On the plus side this cat certainly has eyes of a deeper blue than the picture of the ojos azule. i would suggest you do not desex it yet as that is very final.

Breeding Ojos Azules by: Anonymous
Hi, Thanks for your submission.
Yes, you seem to have found a rare cat as she/he has blue eyes and is not a color point cat.
In answer to your question, please have another look at the Ojos Azules page on this site. You'll see that in my view it is not wise to breed this cat.
That of course is my view. Others may think differently. You might get a second opinion on this cat by the way. In seems that the genetic mutation that produces blue eyes in non-color point cats happens from time to time (it is recessive I understand) and all over the world.
In the West it is considered a rare cat breed. But your cat would not satisfy the cat associations as he/she has no pedigree (unless she is a lost purebred pedigreed cat). There are a lot of things to consider before embarking on breeding and my firm view is enjoy and care for this cat and do no more. You'll get a sure reward. Cat breeding is difficult and not very profitable if done to a high standard.
I would spay/neuter as this is considered the best course of action generally as cats can breed very successfully and whole cats can spray too much and be plain difficult due to mating instincts.
