Cat's eyes

This cat has one blue eye and one yellow eye. I don't know why, although I suspect it is just an unusual genetic accident.

Perhaps cats are susceptible to genetic mutations. I remember that at Ernest Hemmingway's house in Key West, Florida, there are a lot of 6-toed cats who are descendants of Hemmingway's 6-toed cats.

We have photos of the fall colors on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.

    We are on at the same wave length today; I have a photo of a dog with one brown eye and one blue eye. Not that all uncommon but it's still startling when it is seen.
