A blue-eyed cat is typically a Siamese or else a cat with “a lot of white on them,” she explained. With samples of skin from each side of the cat, “we can do a DNA fingerprint-just like on CSI-and the DNA from one side of the body should be different than the other.”īut there is still a mystery about Venus – her single blue eye. Andreassi adds:Ĭat eyes are typically green or yellow, not blue. To find out would require genetic testing, said Lyons. That means Venus is not necessarily a chimera. National Geographic‘s Katia Andreassi writes:įemale cats, said Leslie Lyons, a professor at the University of California, Davis, already have two X chromosomes so they can sport that coat without the extra X. The thing is, Venus may not actually be a chimera.: her perfectly split face may just be a fluke placement of an otherwise normal tortoiseshell pattern.
