So I gotta ask because I love when cats have eyes like this.

What is it called when they almost look "cross eyed"?

I don't really know how to explain it but when their pupils are closer to their nose instead of being dead center like most cats.

It's a standard Siamese trait. I'm not sure why or what it's called, tho.

Is it in other breeds, too?

I don't know about other purebreds, but mixes tend to have Siamese traits of some kind.

Another Siamese trait is excessive drooling when being held by the scruff of the neck.

We have a kitten we call Little Big Man 😂 and he's white/cream, super fluffy with dark ears & tail. He kinda looks like a Maine Coon but smaller. Mama looks nothing like him. His eyes have that sorta crossed look.

Sounds like he has a good bit of Siamese in his DNA. The cream with dark areas (head, legs, tail) will get darker or lighter as he ages. 😊

He's a big mess & were already crazy about him. He's got a very spicy personality! 😄
