works in Australia... the bit about eye color is mildly interesting: >Another cool point to consider when it comes to cat colors — cat eye colors. All kittens are born with blue eyes. At about 6 to 8 weeks of age, “their potential final eye color begins to become apparent,” Miller says. “Full brilliance is not achieved until a cat reaches maturity.” Full maturity can take one to two years, depending on the cat breed.

  Aren't a lot of brown eyed people also born with blue eyes, changing a few weeks later?

    Both my kids were (I have blue eyes, mother has brown). Disclaimer: Sample set of 2 may not be representative of the general population :)

    Interestingly enough, blue eyes bear low levels of melanin but that melanin is what makes eyes brown at higher levels: the blue color is due to Rayleigh scattering! Green eyes are so because of a combination of lipochrome (color source of amber eyes) for the yellow component and Rayleigh scattering for the blue component. Hazel eyes have non-uniform melanin in low to moderate amount, which combined with Rayleigh scattering makes the eyes change color depending on light conditions (mine can go to greenish-almost-blue to deep green to brown with speckles of gold, and any intermediate combination of those).

      Yep, this. Blue eyes are blue for the same reason that the sky is blue!

  Same for some of us, that are born with gray eyes and color starts appearing weeks after birth. And eye color can change during childhood, from blue to green or hazel for example.

Weird... it doesn't work for me either from France, but it works from Belgium. I wonder why they would block just France. Obviously since they don't block Belgium it's not like those American newspapers who block EU visitors to make a statement against GDPR. Edit, here's the archive.is version: http://archive.is/GjLRp http://archive.is/GjLRp

Russian IPs are also blocked. Oh well, I'm getting used to it. But I don't understand why a cat magazine would block access from certain countries.

  The only reason I find is a threat of DDoS and/or script kiddies with penetration bots / automated tools.
