The assignment to draw an eye could only mean one thing: Draw Monster's blue eye. Monty is an odd eyed Turkish angora. One blue eye and one green eye. The blue eye is from a recessive gene that is tied to deafness. He appears to be deaf in his "blue" ear. The cats with two blue eyes are totally deaf, as I understand it.
The blue eye is also the sleepy eye. When Monster wakes up, the blue eye is always slower than the green eye to open. And when he gets sleeping, the blue eye droops closed first. Like so very many things about Monster, his eyes are indeed odd, unique and lovable.... Mary
