It is common for kittens to undergo an eye color change. If your cat is an older cat though, it may signify infection or more serious underlying disease. Any sudden change in eye color should be addressed by your vet or veterinary ophthalmologist.

    This can be normal, and if the color changed started when she was four months old, that's the right time for it to happen. If there are no other symptoms and she is acting perfectly normal, I would not be worried.
