It's a british short hair.

From what I understand, eye color and coat colors are genetically related. Blue eyes go with pointed cats and white cats, but not cats of other colors.

A pointed cat is one who's body is one light color and who's points (ears, face, paws, tail) are another darker color. There are pointed british short hairs, but I don't know how common they are.

In general, purebred cats are pretty darn expensive, and can cost anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Unless one has a lot of extra money laying around, why not go to a local shelter and see the moggies (ie plain ol cats)? You can find beautiful cats there, and ones with great personalities. Heck, even ugly cats can make great companions.
 
I'd really love a grey kitty with blue eyes, do they exist? Like this one?

Looking at the picture, it looks like the blue is more of a reflection. I think the kitten's eyes are actually yellow. I don't think it's genetically possible to have a solid color cat (other than white) with blue eyes.

I consulted some breeders, and they say that almost all kittens are actually born with blue eyes, and that the vast majority of them (except the occasional white and pointed varieties) will change to a more normal color after they reach 6 to 10 weeks old.

So, by the time you'd get the cat (you shouldn't take a kitten away from it's mother before 8 to 10 weeks of age), it would have normal color eyes.

Total scam and dishonest backyard breeder advertising a rare blue eyed kitten ^o)

can we train cats to do some tricks?

Sure, but not like dogs. AbuS has trained our cat to go into her kennel when he snaps his fingers and says move. She actually gets a little bit sassy, and kind of squeaks at him, but after a few times, she goes in. She also recognizes the word ga'ana, which is food in arabic (I think).
 
apparantly you can treat cats to do tricks, but you gota propa be on it

like holdin treats in your hands and makin your cat shake your hand, but its hard
