you, sir, are a liar! You have to find pictures of cats online that don't get caught in google image search

next time just title it "Look at this cool cat pic I found online. Isn't it cute?"

[–]narelie 17 points18 points ago

By also utilizing a google search, I found a picture of OP's pants!

[–]Krypt0night 111 points112 points ago

I don't think purple eyes are even possible

[–]WorshipThyBacon -3 points-2 points ago

I think the color is like violet or something. I believe Elizabeth Taylor had violet eyes

[–]Buyn 10 points11 points ago

She's not a cat.

[–]_Gingy 13 points14 points ago

The second link had a great photo.

[–]WorshipThyBacon 4 points5 points ago

There's no tricking reddit. Ever

[–]Mrs_Queequeg 1 point2 points ago

Well, not the whole of reddit. This post does have quite a few points.

[–]fabtastik 3 points4 points ago

That is hilariously pathetic of whatspeerpressure to fake a story for fake internet points. I can't imagine a life where you have to fabricate tales online in order to feel better about yourself.

[–]EONS 89 points90 points ago

Just to clarify for the gullible:

There is no such thing as a cat with a red, pink or purple eye color. They do not have the red pigment in their eyes to make it possible.

Albino cats have blue or yellow eyes.

[–]hovermind 21 points22 points ago

How do you artifically color an animal's eyes..?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb, photoshop.

[–]TailoredBeats 4 points5 points ago

There are cats with amber and blue eyes though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khao_Manee

[–]hovermind 2 points3 points ago

How does this happen naturally? Does this ever happen in humans? I wish I had different colored eyes. They're both boring brown.

[–]EONS 7 points8 points ago

It's called heterochromia.

[–]beckyemm 11 points12 points ago

It's a mutation, a rather groovy mutation, actually.

[–]dogfart614 0 points1 point ago

Niceeee reference.

[–]beckyemm 0 points1 point ago

I try :P

[–]juniorpoprox 1 point2 points ago

You forgot the Iridum. Heterochromia simply refers to a discoloration. Heterochromia Iridum indicates a discoloration of the Iris. You still get one though ;{

[–]eggjuggler 2 points3 points ago

Yes, this does happen in humans.

[–]NotaVirus_Click 2 points3 points ago

Brother in law has 1 brown eye and 1 half blue/half green eye. Colors might be wrong but 3 colors 2 eyes. Ill try to get a picture.

[–]Kaiden628 0 points1 point ago

Op will surely deliver.

[–]NotaVirus_Click 0 points1 point ago

Best Picture I can find Left eye is Blue right is brown/green.

[–]gnomestress 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry but that's incorrect. Cats with partial albinism can have blue or yellow eyes. Red eyes in albinism is not caused by red pigment. Red eyes are caused by such a lack of pigment that the retina is visible. Source. The same is true for any vertebrate with albinism, including humans.

[–]Leelluu -1 points0 points ago

Abyssinians have orange eyes sometimes.

[–]VixenIchi 31 points32 points ago

it's a shame you didn't keep her natural eye colour, still very cute though.

[–]jimmy_the_exploder 11 points12 points ago

This is 'shopped, that's 'shopped, every fucking thing is shopped!

[–]Zigus 22 points23 points ago

Why fake the eye color?

[–]ky321 40 points41 points ago

Is it just my imagination or does the purple seem to be leaking out of the top part of the eye?

[–]Ladytsun 18 points19 points ago

I actually came here to say that. Still up voted for a beautiful cat, but am sad to see the purple does not spare to be genuine

[–]xJolt 6 points7 points ago

Nice photoshop attemp, but the bad brushing around the eyelids gave you away

[–]datsphotoshopped 7 points8 points ago

This is photoshopped.

[–]three_cheers 8 points9 points ago

Relevant.

[–]mask_salesman 4 points5 points ago

sometimes I feel that I'm the only one who doesn't give a shit about karma.

[–]The_Croquet_Player 0 points1 point ago

Me either. Zero interest.

[–]worldlyguy 3 points4 points ago

I'm truly interested in why someone would lie about a white kitten being at a friends house. Then bring it online to sell this lie. What exactly does he expect to gain? I get the easy stuff like he might get lots of replies or some kind of attention. But deeper than that, if it is deeper. What causes gazillions of folks to go through the effort posting like this when they know they will never meet any of the folks he's selling this to in real life. Why the effort? Why so small? If you are going to do it go all out with something big.

[–]ComputerJerk 8 points9 points ago

TIL Heterochromia Iridium.

[–]metwork 7 points8 points ago

Thru you link, TIL I have central Heterochromia.

[–]ksek 2 points3 points ago

Me too! Never knew there was a term for it. I always just thought it was called "I, uh, can't really describe my eye color. It's kind of like.. two colors? But each eye is the same? Uh, yeah, just write down gray I guess."

[–]Double_Scoop 1 point2 points ago

lol ditto, i just write hazel. . .my eyes change depending on my mood, its kinda weird. the outer ring changes from green,blue or grey while i have an inner star burst of either yellow, amber or a crazy yellow with amber flakes.

[–]BCBUDDHA 9 points10 points ago

TIL photoshop, ain't no purple eyes in nature son

[–]ComputerJerk -3 points-2 points ago

You were saying?

[–]jewdea 0 points1 point ago

There aren't in cats.

[–]ComputerJerk 0 points1 point ago

It seems at least plausible to me that it could happen, as the article says lilac/purple eye shades are only possible in albinos where they end up with a mix of blue and red'ish eyes which form the lilac. You can have albino cats and cats with blue eyes, I suspect it's not outside the realms of possibility.

Love getting downvoted for posting facts though :) The guy said there aren't purple eyes in nature, there clearly are.

[–]EONS 1 point2 points ago

Cat's do not have the pigment that causes red coloring. Albino cats have blue or yellow eyes. It is not possible, as has been stated before, for a cat to have purple eyes (or red, or pink).

[–]ComputerJerk 1 point2 points ago

Well that's interesting to know, still, purple eyes can happen in nature so it wasn't that far fetched

[–]gnomestress 0 points1 point ago

Red eyes are not caused by pigment. They are caused by a lack of pigment. The retina is red.

[–]Demeter_Dame 5 points6 points ago

Here's a tip. When changing the color of the eyes, make sure it doesn't cover the reflection of the light in the eyes..the light source should be white...not the color that you just made the eyes. Same goes for the reflections on the pupils. Little things like that always give it away for me.

[–]PowerCrumpet 6 points7 points ago

[–]questar 0 points1 point ago

I took the trouble to log into one of my other accounts so I could downvote lying shoop again.

[–]TyrionLannister2012 0 points1 point ago

Terrible shoop. You can make out some green on the lower left of the "purple eye" and you can see some purple where the person coloring this must have made an error on the top eyelid of the purple eye.

David Bowie cat version?

[–]deadgingrwalkng 13 points14 points ago

David Bowie actually has two of the same colored eyes. His one pupil is just permanently dilated

[–]SirDigbyChicknCaeser 5 points6 points ago

THANK YOU. I'm tired of people not understanding this.

sad that people are categorized as redditors and non-redditors..

[–]ReverendVoice 5 points6 points ago

The only people that categorize people like that are redditors.

[–]kampfy3 1 point2 points ago

ONLY THE SITH DEAL IN ABSOLUTES

[–]raddat -4 points-3 points ago

I have the exact same cat. I'm willing to bet your friend's cat is almost completely, or just completely, deaf.

When they're white and have one or two blue eyes, it's a strong indication that it's a deaf cat. No idea why, that's just the case. The Vet told me this then I researched it online and it's true.

It's a genetic defect.
