Heterochromia cats, otherwise known as odd-eyed cats, are felines with different-colored eyes. Heterochromia iridum occurs both in humans and animals, especially cats. It is a condition in which the two irises are different colors. For example, an animal or a human may have one blue eye and one brown eye.

This from ChatGBT:

The prevalence of heterochromia, a condition where a person has two different colored eyes, varies widely depending on the population and the type of heterochromia. However, it is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in every 100 to 200 individuals. This means that in a population of 100,000 people, there could be anywhere from 500 to 1,000 individuals with heterochromia.

Do the different colored eyes affect range of vision or depth perception at night?
