Top 8 White Cat Breeds With Blue Eyes [With Pictures!]

White cats with blue eyes are truly a beautiful sight to behold. The brilliant deep blue in combination with the pure white fur is reminiscent of a deep, blue lake in a snowy landscape. The beauty of these 2 features put together makes these cats highly sought after among cat-lovers.

However, while these cats are incredible to look at, it can be difficult to determine which breeds you should go with if you want a blue-eyed white cat for yourself. To remedy that, let’s take a closer look at the top 8 white cat breeds with blue eyes to get a better idea of what your options are.

1. Maine Coon

The most impressive white cat with blue eyes is without a doubt the Maine Coon. The Maine Coon is a beautiful beast that comes in many different colors, including white. When a Maine Coon is white they often have blue eyes as well.

As you probably guessed from the name, the Maine Coon is native to Maine. In fact, they are the official state cat of Maine. Maine can be a cold place, which is why this breed has such thick, long fur. This thick long fur makes their white coloration stand out even more and gives them an imposing look.

The Maine Coon is also the biggest cat in the world and holds the record for having the longest tail. The only thing bigger than their size is their personality – they’re gentle giants that get along amazingly well with children and other pets. They’re a very laid-back breed that might follow you around the house, yet they’re not needy. They’re also very intelligent and love playing games like fetch or chasing toys.

Breed Overview

Height	10 to 16 inches
Weight	8 to 18 pounds
Lifespan	10 to 13 years
Coat	Long
Traits	Gentle, laid-back, intelligent, playful

2. Siberian Cat

The second white cat breed with blue eyes that I recommend is the Siberian cat. The Siberian Cat is fluffiness incarnate. It evolved to have a thick, long coat to protect itself from the icy colds of Siberia. In white, this coat is truly amazing to look at and in combination with blue eyes, its stunning beauty is amplified even further.

The Siberian cat, native to the forests of Siberia in Russia is the official national cat of the country. Their majestic, long, thick fur allows them to stay warm in any weather and is beautiful to boot. They’re a medium to large-sized breed, typically weighing between 8 and 17 pounds.

The Siberian has an affectionate and playful personality. Interestingly enough, it can take them up to 5 years to reach adulthood, meaning that they are one of the most playful cat breeds and stay playful much longer than other breeds.

Yet another interesting personality trait of the Siberian is that they’re very fond of water. Whereas many other cats despise water, the Siberian actively seeks out water to play in – likely a genetic remnant of when it used to fish for supper.

A bonus of this breed is that, according to the Siberian Cat Club, they produce fewer Fel-d1 proteins, meaning that the Siberian does not elicit as much of an allergy response as other breeds.

Height	10 to 12 inches
Weight	12 to 15 pounds
Lifespan	8 to 10 years

Traits	Affectionate, playful, intelligent, hypoallergenic

3. Khao Manee

The Khao Manee’s name literally means: “white gem” or “completely white”. These cats are always white and often have blue eyes, making them a great choice for people who are after a cat with blue eyes and white fur.

The Khao Manee is from Thailand and has ancestry tracing back hundreds of years. The breed is well known in Thailand but is much lesser known in the West. However, this is slowly changing and the breed is gradually gaining popularity as more western breeders adopt the breed.

This cat is devoted to its owner. They’re curious, intelligent creatures that have a knack for getting into trouble. They’re also very playful and get along great with children. Due to their social nature, they do not enjoy being home alone for too long.

4. Persian

The Persian is yet another cat breed that can have white fur and blue eyes. Mostly known for their long, flowing coats, the Persian’s coat is among the nicest out there. However, this beauty comes at a cost and the Persian is fairly high maintenance, requiring daily brushing.

The Persian is an easy-going breed that prefers a relaxed environment. Loud environments are not good for them, they prefer a serene household where little changes from day to day.

They’re a dignified and docile breed that’s known for being sweet and quiet. They can be affectionate, but only with people that they like and trust. Towards strangers, they’re usually more reserved.

Breed overview

Height	10 to 15 inches
Weight	7 to 13 pounds
Lifespan	10 to 15 years
Coat	Long
Traits	Calm, quiet, sweet, docile

5. Turkish Angora

The Turkish Angora has a long, silky coat with an elegant and graceful body. Their coat can come in many colors, including pure white. Their eyes, similarly, can be many different colors but is often blue if the fur is white.

The Turkish Angora, as the name suggests, is native to Turkey. Not only that, they’re actually the national cat of the country. They’re a medium-sized breed, typically weighing between 5 to 10 pounds.

This breed has an affectionate personality and is very playful. They’re very social cats with a high level of intelligence. They like to play and will do whatever is necessary to get your attention. Also, they can be quite a stubborn breed. For some people, this might make them difficult to live with, for others, it’s the ideal breed.

6. Ragdoll

Did you know that all Ragdoll kittens are born white? It’s only later in life that some of them change color, ranging from black to red, to blue, but quite often, the ragdoll stays white. In addition, many Ragdolls have bright blue eyes, making the breed a good choice for someone who’s looking for a white cat with blue eyes.

The Ragdoll has an interesting history. It was first developed by Ann Baker, a breeder in California. She bred many different breeds together, such as the Burmese, Birman, and the Persian until she eventually ended up with a white Ragdoll named Josephine. From there, more Ragdolls were born.

The breed is most known for the fact that they go limp when they’re being held, which is where the name “Ragdoll” comes from.

The Ragdoll is smart, gentle, loyal, and highly affectionate. They enjoy spending a lot of time with their owners but are not demanding, making them great cats for first-time cat owners.

Breed Overview

Height	9 to 11 inches
Weight	10 to 20 pounds
Lifespan	13 to 18 years
Coat	Long
Traits	Social, affectionate, friendly, loyal

7. Devon Rex

Yet another white cat with blue eyes is the Devon Rex. Now, just like most other cats, not all Devon Rexes are white with blue eyes, but it is a combination of characteristics that they can have. In the Devon Rex’s case, their blue eyes are even more pronounced because of just how big they are!

The Devon Rex is a divisive cat breed: you either hate how it looks or you love it. The reason for this is that the breed does not look like your typical cat breed. They have an elfish appearance with large ears, big eyes, high cheekbones, and a long neck. In addition, this breed is one of the few cats with curly fur.

Personality-wise, the Devon Rex is extremely playful, active, and generally loves to have fun. They’re not one to laze about too much, instead preferring to explore the world around them. They are very inquisitive and tend to get in trouble if left alone for too long. They’re also very affectionate and love spending as much time with you as they can. In addition, they’re great with kids, easy to groom, and very friendly towards strangers.

Breed overview

Height	10 to 12 inches
Weight	6 to 9 pounds
Lifespan	9 to 15 years
Coat	Short & Curly
Traits	Active, playful, inquisitive, affectionate

8. Oriental

The final entry on the list of best white cats with blue eyes is the Oriental. When you first see an Oriental cat you’ll immediately notice one thing: their enormous ears. The breed was specifically bred to have this feature and the CFA actually takes the size of their ears into account during cat shows.

The Oriental is a loving, chatty, and curious breed. They’re not afraid to make their demands heard and often do so in a loud, raspy voice. They’re also extremely fond of their owners, often following you around and supervising your activities.

Because of their demanding, chatty, and affectionate nature, this breed is not for everyone. They do not do well if they have to spend long stretches of time alone and if you’re looking for a quiet breed, the Oriental’s not for you!

Breed overview

Height	9 to 11 inches
Weight	8 to 12 pounds
Lifespan	12 to 15 years
Coat	Short
Traits	Vocal, affectionate, demanding, social, curious
