You have probably heard that Siamese cats are cross-eyed. That is true, as you can see from this photo of Floki. 
I have heard a couple of different reasons for this. One is that their retinas are slightly off center so crossing their eyes allows them to see better. Another has to do with the way their brains interpret the images. That I didn’t really understand so I will leave it at that.
I also read that some breeders have bred this cross-eyed trait out without actually fixing the misalignment problem so if you see a straight-eyed Siamese cat, he or she may not have ideal vision.

Awww… Just crossed enough to be perfect!
🙂
Floki is adorable no matter what his eyes are like but that’s super interesting about Siamese cat eyes……….
Pam and Teddy too
I thought so too.
I wish people would quit “fixing” non-existent problems. Floki is the perfect example of how adorable “natural” Siamese kitties are
I agree. Let Mother Nature do her thing.
I go cross-eyed when my human holds a treat in front of me!
Hahaha. . . That will do it.
We always wondered whether they could see well with those crossed eyes. Thanks for answering that!
My pleasure.
Floki is a cutie.
I agree. 🙂
That is very interesting and makes Mom curious to investigate more…sort of makes for a permanent stink-eye. Nice to see a close-up of Floki. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
It is a bit of an endearing look. 🙂
Floki is adorable no matter what!
I can’t argue with that. 🙂
I love my Floki, he is so sweet and since he prefers his mom, makes him even more adorable!
He does love his mama. 🙂
