Causes of heterochromatic eyes in cats

Heterochromatic cats generally refer to cats with different eye colors. The cause of heterochromatic eyes in cats is usually determined by genes.

The reason for hearing loss in large ears or both ears in heterochromatic cats

Heterochromatic cats are generally caused by congenital genetic defects. Due to the lack of pigment, the color of the eyes is different, and their hearing is also affected. The hearing of heterochromatic cats is usually problematic. Normally, it is the ear corresponding to the blue eye that has abnormal hearing, and in severe cases, both ears may be deaf. It is recommended for owners to provide a quiet and comfortable living environment for heterochromatic cats to give them a sense of security.

Daily care of heterochromatic cats

In daily life, due to the partial hearing loss of heterochromatic cats, owners should spend more time accompanying them.

This can effectively avoid the risk of heterochromatic cats contracting parasites, and it is beneficial to their growth and development. Owners can also appropriately take heterochromatic cats outdoors for physical exercise, such as walking, jumping, and climbing, which can accelerate blood circulation inside the body and enhance physical immunity.
