If this change of color is in the iris, or spreads to the iris, then you will need to have it seen by a vet as soon as possible as this can indicate melanoma.
Melanomas are very serious problems in cats, so an early diagnosis is crucial. Unfortunately, the only treatment for melanomas is the removal of your pet's eye - but this should stop the condition spreading.
