Very cute kitten.

Is he deaf in both ears? A large majority of cats that are completely white are born deaf. Especially if they have blue eyes or different colored eyes.

My aunt had three, all white cats, on her ranch. The one was the mother... they are usually bad mom's because they can't hear their kittens. The other two were kittens of that mother, one born with blue eyes and the other with different colored eyes. The one with all blue eyes was completely deaf, the one with different colored eyes was only deaf on the side that had the blue eye. The other ear worked fine. Apparently it has to do with a gene that is passed along to cats with all white fur, and for some reason eye color plays a factor in it, as well.

The mom is still around, still having kittens, unfortunately, the other two died because one didn't hear a car coming and the other didn't hear a horse hoof. They don't usually make it if they're left outside, simply because they can't protect themselves from things they don't know are coming.

So, 'tis good you two found one another.


Yes, I am aware of this, a bit similar to albinism. The mother of this cat was completely white... although had the the same color of eyes, which I blieve are green, I have not seen her for months.

Interesting take... although I have done some really loud tests (myself), such as starting a blender right near him... the vacuum cleaner does not phase him... really nothing does so far.


omfg You are torturing him... Blender, vacuum cleaner!!!! no no no! kiss2

kiss2 he is. I am so sorry to read about your cat Martina. Cats are strange like that. We had tons of cats growing up... and they are mysterious sometimes. I just hope it was not foul play.

Thinking of you. rose

Love,
Julie

The weird thing is that albino cats don't usually carry the gene and rarely are they deaf! You'd think they'd be the ones most affected. *shrug*

It sounds like he's deaf in both ears, eh? I was just curious if your kitten was the same as my aunts with the different colored eyes, if maybe it usually only affects the blue eyed side. It sounds like that doesn't matter so much.

Anyway... like I said. Very cute kitten!


Hey there I found this today. My girlfriend also just adopted a white cat with blue eyes that was deaf..... Made me curious.

Julie check to see if he is deaf in both ears closely... Would be interesting to see.

Tendency toward deafness

Blue-eyed cats with white fur have a higher genetic incidence of deafness. [1]Completely white cats with blue eyes have a higher genetic percentage of being born deaf than the average cat. It is most likely to occur if they are born with blue eyes, and in some cases, orange or green eye colour. There are some examples of white cats with only one blue eye and the result is that they can be deaf on the side of the blue eye. [2]

This happens due to the dominant W gene. This certain gene usually gives the cat a white coat, blue irides, and deafness. [3] It can happen in some cat breeds (that can carry the W gene), except Foreign white cats. Normally, Foreign white cats do not have a problem with deafness, but it can happen under very rare circumstances if the breed inherits the W gene. This also occurs with dogs if they have white coat and blue eyes, and in the case of dogs, it can be equally common for them to be born blind. [4] However, cats do not have a propensity for blindness if they have white coats and blue eyes. [5]

Around 5% of all cats are completely white, and 10-20% of them are deaf. Very few of them survive in the wild because of all the hazards that they cannot avoid as easily as others cats would in the same situation. [6]
