TRUTH !!
Kittens are born with blue eyes, which may stay that way or change color as
the kitten matures. For instance, all pointed cats have blue eyes. Cats who
are solid white or mostly white may have blue, green, gold or copper eyes.
The most common eye colors range from greenish-yellow to gold.
The more melanocytes there are in your cat's irises, the darker their color
will be. But cats don't get brown or black eyes like people do; the darkest
color you'll see in a cat's eyes is a deep, rich copper.

Oh, Yes, and it's venomous !



The platypus is one of the few living mammals to produce venom. Males have a pair of spurs on their hind limbs that secrete venom that is active only in breeding season, supporting the theory that the use of venom is for competition for mates, not for protection. While the spur remains available for defense, outside of breeding season the platypus's venom gland lacks secretion. While the venom's effects are described as excruciatingly painful, it is not lethal to humans.
