During the last 60 years many inherited traits in domestic outbred cats were selected and retained giving birth to new breeds characterised by singular coat or morphological phenotypes. Among them, minimal white spotting associated with blue eyes was selected by feline breeders to create the Altai, Topaz, and Celestial breeds (http://messybeast.com/blue-eye-breeds.htm; https://loof.asso.fr). Various established breeds also introduced this trait in their lineages.
