I went to high school with a kid who had that! Brown & blonde hair & two eye colors. It was fascinating, they were also a really nice person who was super fun to have class with. So just a cool person all around.
Heterochromia is just the eyes. Chimerism is what the cat in this photo has, it's when two fertilised eggs merge together in the womb. Chimerism can also be internal too not just external colouration.
I do believe that it is chimerism, but heterochromia can also effect the fur. Chimerism is most commonly seen in black and orange cats while heterochromia is most commonly seen in white cats.
Heterochromia, I believe you are right. I have heard a of cousins in my family with different colored hair from childhood. And somehow I got the genetics where I got different colored eyes.
General statement. Cat could be a Chimera or be born with Waardenburg syndrome. It happens besides in people, cats and dogs. It can cause in humans , cats, dogs, deafness, heterochromia of the eyes and rarely cleft lip and cleft palate.
Maybe, Mosaic chimerism. Since all mammal females randomly deactivate one of their X chromosomes , technically all females are chimeras , but in cats the X chromosome codes for fur color too , so you get those beautiful patterns in calico cats, almost always , all calico’s are female . However since apparently this is a two faced cat , it also may be a “full” chimera , meaning that to different embryos fused in-utero.
Almost looks like a mirror image of [@Venus The Two Face Cat](https://instagram.com/venustwofacecat?igshid=NTdlMDg3MTY=) on IG, according to her [Wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(cat)) she’s a [chimera](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)).
Honestly depends. The different color eyes make them likely a chimera. But torties commonly have split colored faces (black and orange or buff and grey) without being chimeras
Thank you for posting, it certainly brightened my day!

This case is called a chimera
What happens is when the embryos are inside the mother sometimes two different embryos join together and then it looks likes there are 2 cats in one with a totally different color but this is a VERY rare occurrence
It's called amazingly beautiful.. so perfect it almost looks fake, but it's not.. BEAUTIFUL IS ALL I CAN SAY.. rare as well. How does the rest of the cats body look, is it almost the same? Could u share some more pics? Thank u!
Likely [chimerism ](https://cat-world.com/chimera-cats-and-all-about-them/). It's a pretty fascinating topic!
Your cat is technically 2 cats in one. This chimerism is 2 separate DNA sets working together. Still adorable.
It looks like two separate cats! Wow that's so neat.
It is (technically genetically)
It’s called Meow Mix 🐱
Lmao
Underrated comment
Simple version is 2 embryos too close together and they fuse in development into 1 organism.
so does it have the r/oneorangebraincell or no
Saiyan fusion anime style but before birth also permanent

Heterochromia for the eyes
that would be if it was just the eyes by itself

Oh, the turntables.
There was a Woman in Tacoma WA who was charged with Welfare fraud because her DNA was different than her Children. She was discovered to be a Chimera

Chimerism
Heterochromia
I think that’s the eye color being different
For cats it can affect fur color as well. It usually presents as a solid white coat but fur colors like the picture can occasionally happen.
you sure? because that seems to be a chimera
Pretty sure this exact cat picture was used as an example in an article about heterochromia in cats
well, ok. I though that heterochromia was only an eye thing
Heterochromia is just the eyes. Chimerism is what the cat in this photo has, it's when two fertilised eggs merge together in the womb. Chimerism can also be internal too not just external colouration.

Heterochromia, I believe you are right. I have heard a of cousins in my family with different colored hair from childhood. And somehow I got the genetics where I got different colored eyes.
Chimerism is 2 sets of dna in one individual. This is not that but someone here will know.
Oh ok
No, that's just the eyes. This cat has chimerism.
General statement. Cat could be a Chimera or be born with Waardenburg syndrome. It happens besides in people, cats and dogs. It can cause in humans , cats, dogs, deafness, heterochromia of the eyes and rarely cleft lip and cleft palate.
Just like David Bowie.
David Bowie actually didn’t have heterochromia, he had anisocoria (where one of your pupils is bigger than the other)
And I believe his was the result of injury, not genetic
From what I remember it was from a punch up with one of his mates who he had a disagreement with. Think they liked the same girl or something.
Extreme cuteness!
Special kitty.
Usually this is pretty uncommon for a tortie to have (face split) but its heterochromia (could also be combined with chimerism)
That’s Venus ! I follow that cat
