Description and characteristics of Ojos Azules

The Ojos Azules can be recognized mainly by its deep azure blue or grey-blue eyes, whatever the color of its coat. A unique characteristic because this eye color is normally reserved for white cats, Siamese and other bicolor cats. However, the Ojos Azules has a tortoiseshell coat of red and black color. Its eyes are round and large, set at a slight slant. Some cats of this breed have one blue eye and the other green, gold or copper. The gene responsible for the eye color of the Ojos Azules also gives small white markings on its coat, especially at the end of its legs, on its ears and on its tail.

This cat has a triangular shaped head with prominent cheekbones and a square muzzle. Its ears are medium sized, a little rounded at the tip and well erect on the head. Its body is said to be "semi foreign", meaning that it is long and elegant with a strong bone structure. The Ojos Azules also has rather small and delicate feet.

When its hair is short, its coat is silky and fine. When it is medium long, the hair of the Ojos Azules has a slightly tousled appearance and its tail is in plume.


Origin of Ojos Azules

The ancestor of the Ojos Azules, a blue-eyed, scaly cat, appeared in the early 1980s in the United States in the state of New Mexico. It was then crossed with American Shorthairs to give a unique breed of cat whose main characteristic is the intense blue color of its eyes, which do not depend on the color of its coat.

The Ojos Azules is today a very rare breed and perhaps even in danger of extinction due to the current interruption of its breeding.
