* CuteKitten: Kiki, a grey blue-eyed Siamese cat. She's a small kitten who got lost, and Blue Eyes and his human save her from kids who are about to torture her. When they find out she has no home, they decide to adopt her. Blue Eyes is quite surprised that Kiki is allowed to do stuff he is forbidden, but figure out it's because she's still little and such a cutie. He's sorry about it at first, but once he realizes out his, or rather ''their'', human loves them both, he figures out he need not be jealous.

* CanonIllustrations: Blue Eyes and Kiki are both explicitly identified as Siamese cats so they should be silvery or white with various forms of darker point colouration. Helena Zmatlíková's illustrations depict them as blue-gray cats, similar to Russian Blue or British Shorthair Blue, albeit with blue almond-shaped eyes. Also both Blue Eyes and Kiki are less slender than Siamese cats. The charming illustrations are included in all editions of the book and all cover art of audio books so most people imagine Blue Eyes and Kiki as the grey kittens.

* CatUpATree: From the cat's point of view. Blue Eyes was chasing a squirrel and was having great fun, until he got too high and was afraid to climb down.

''Tomcat Blue-Eyes’ Diaries'' (original Czech title ''Z deníku kocoura Modroočka'') is a a classic of Czech children's literature.

Blue Eyes is a little inexperienced Siamese tomcat with big blue eyes who decides to keep a diary and tell his readers what has happened to him since he was born, and continues writing about his adventures. Readers find out about his first days with his big two-legged creature (to whom he later refers as "my human" because cats don't have masters), about meeting other cats in his town neighbourhood like she-cat Green Eyes or gorgeous tomcat White Whiskers Rusty, about his adventures in the countryside cottage, about his encounters with various animals, and much more.

Written in 1965 by Josef Kolář, a biologist, teacher and radio journalist who wrote programmes mainly for children and youth. According to Kolář, the book was based on his real cat and his adventures. The book was illustrated by Helena Zmatlíková whose cute and charming pictures are a staple of Czech literature aimed at children.

It was adapted many times to various media: a radio broadcast, a puppet movie, live-action TV movie, several theatre performances, several audio books read by well-known actors, and an audio book narrated and sung by several actors and singers. Especially the last one was a huge hit when it was released, but none of the adaptations is so well-loved as the original book.

* CatsHateWater: Blue Eyes certainly does. One night he falls into a pond and nearly drowns, but finally figeres out how to swim and saves himself. Once he overcomes his natural aversion to water when he needs to show his human that he can swim too, not only Kiki.
* CoolCat: Most of the cats in the story are graceful.
** White Whiskers is very experienced and elegant cat.
** Blue Eyes when he gets a bit older tries to be cool and doesn't much like when his human laughs at him.
** Mici Angorra is very proud, haughty and arrogant because he "played in a movie".
* CuteKitten: Kiki, a grey blue-eyed Siamese cat. She's a small kitten who got lost, and Blue Eyes and his human saved her from some evil kids. When they found out she has no home, they decided to adopt her. Blue Eyes was quite surprised that Kiki was allowed to do stuff he was forbidden, but figured out it was because she was still little and such a cutie. He was sorry about it, but once he found out his, or rather their, human loved them both, he was satisfied.
* DudeMagnet:
** Green Eyes is the only she-cat in the neighbourhood, so all the tomcats are crazy about her.
** Kiki once she grows up. When Blue Eyes and she arrive home, the tomcats take a liking to her. Green Eyes is naturally jealous and hostile towards her.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: Czech proverb "measure twice, cut once" is changed to "measure twice, pass through once". It is White Whiskers' advice to Blue Eyes when he got stuck in a fence.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Blue Eyes has big bright blue eyes. The story starts when he's just a bigger kitten starting to discover the world, and he's inexperienced and not always very sharp in understanding. He's extremely sweet and kind-hearted to other cats, especially to homeless cat Green Eyes or to White Whiskers Rusty who become his mentors.
* KindHeartedCatLover: Blue Eyes' human. He appears to have no family, just Blue Eyes, and he's very loving towards him. The cutest moments happen when he holds him or lets him purr into his ears.
* JerkAss: Yellow tomcat who Blue Eyes meets near his cottage is very mean and immediately wants to fight with Blue Eyes. The latter tries to be polite and eventually dicides to hold a respectable distance from the Yellow one.
* ProudBeauty: Like most cats, Blue Eyes is well aware of the fact that he's really adorable and really good-looking. When White Whisters scolds him for getting stuck in a fence, he asks him whether he knows what the purpose of cat's whiskers is. Blue Eyes answers: "To look beautiful of course!"
* SickEpisode: Blue Eyes eats "ew stuff" in chapter four and gets very ill. He's taken to the vet, but always spits his medicine. His human is really sad and Blue Eyes decides to die. Eventually he's so sick that he doesn't care what happens to him and lets the human put the pill in his throat. He figures it doesn't taste so bad, and after a time gets well.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Blue Eyes admires a horse's eyes though he notes that they are extremely sad. He finds out why -- horses must serve humans and their work is unspeakably tough. He tries to set the horse free, with disastrous results for him. The horse's master strikes Blue Eyes with a whips.
