Not creepy at all to me. They are cool.

8. I'm fine with a cat w/ 2 color eyes. Humans, not so much...

9. My uncle had one blue eye and one green eye.

The color difference was much more subtle than this guy.

7. I hope he has to use his modelling money to pay back the people whose car he stole.

We had our car stolen a couple of years ago and it cost us a lot of money and trouble. We never even found out who stole it, or if they were even arrested. Our car, when we got it back, had all the electronics ripped out and a broken door handle, and i was filled up with their crap. We also had to deal without being with a car for a month, and that meant my SO had to take an hour and a half bus ride each way to work every day. When the police finally called to say they had it, they didn't even wait for us to come get it (on a bus) but had it towed to a place that charged us over $400 to get it out.

10. Cats have that same genetic condition.

It usually only affects eye colors, but sometimes it also changes their fur.

I had a sweet, beautiful white cat with a pink nose and brilliantly colored eyes, one was intense sky-blue and the other was bright grass-green. She looked like an Easter decoration.

The eyes are remarkable.

Thanks, procon.
