Maine Coons
Maine Coon cats first appeared in the United States in Maine and gradually grew in popularity among Northeasterners for their mousing skills and striking appearance.
These cats, while massive, usually love being around humans and are quite affectionate. Their wide eyes reflect the adoration they feel for their humans and capture the hearts of nearly everyone they encounter.
Green Eyes
Maine Coon kittens, like most cats, are typically born with blue eyes that change color over time. Any shade of green is a possible outcome, in addition to a goldish-yellow.
While green eyes are less common in humans, they are relatively common in cats. This is because cats have higher levels of melanin that contribute to the evolution of their iris’ pigmentation.
Two primary factors determine eye color on the cellular level. These factors are melanin and melanocyte. The two variables that contribute are intensity and hue.
More melanin results in more intense color. More melanocytes mean the eyes will be darker. Ultimately, it all amounts to the cat’s genetics.
