Pointless Fact: Blue eyed cats have a genetic mutation that causes partial albinism. It's also why Siamese cats and the related breeds have pointed coats. Due to the mutation, their optic nerves are attached to their brains differently and it affects their vision. Having crossed eyes counteracts the funky wiring so they can see better.
Sadly, some humans/breeders found the cross eyed trait "undesirable" and started breeding it out of cats thus negatively affecting their vision bc we are dicks that care more about how our animals look than how functional their bodies are. 👎🏻
