Yes, white cats are more likely to be deaf! Have you ever had a white cat? If so, were they deaf, or could they hear? 👂🦻Let me know in the comments!

My 6 months little cat is white with light blue eyes, pink paws, ears and nose, he hears very well and I love her so much. Hope stay together for ever ❤

My Leo was my best friend. He was by my side through troubled times. I'll always miss him April 1, 2001 to August 9, 2017.

I have 2 white cats and 1 is outside only. Both are very loving and gentle with kittens. They are very playful and expressive. I wish I could find a home for the one outside. He is so sweet.

I’ve had several white cats, Katie, Cory, Kinley, Kismet, Fiona, and Yoongi. Katie, Kismet, and Kinley were the odd eyed cats. To my knowledge none of them were deaf. Kismet lived to be about 20 years old. Unlike the others which were affectionate, she was very standoffish until she was very old. She liked to sit on the stairs and watch me through the rails. So that is where I have placed her white urn with her ashes. It is comforting to see her urn there where she used to be.

We have Rupert - all white and two different coloured eyes: one gold, one blue and he is pretty much completely deaf. He is the biggest goof we've ever had in a cat and we are so glad he came into our lives :)

My cat had kittens yesterday. She had 2 all black and 1all white.

My sister has one. He's completely deaf and his meows are incredibly loud. Lol. His name is Sugar and he's really sweet. He likes to suckle on people's noses and fingers.

*I have a pure white domestic shorthair cat with two blue eyes. He’s a male, and he’s now 2.5 years old. He’s not deaf at all **_(he just chooses to be one when he wants to, but not when it’s meal or treats times), _** and he’s pretty big and long if compared to local DSH cats here in my country. And he’s such an attitude. He’s the alpha furbaby at home. He constantly asserts dominance while being the most extroverted. Before him, we had two female white cats **_(one had two yellow eyes, and the other had one blue and one yellow eyes)._*

I had a beautiful white cat, her name was Bella. She developed kidney disease and left me suddenly. The veterinarian said that this is a common thing for white cats. I miss my girl every day, she was barely 3 years old...has anyone else had a similar experience?

I have a white cat. A British shorthair. When he was a month old, he had some yellow spots on his forehead. These spots faded and disappeared when he was 4 months old. He is fully white, not deaf, and has yellow eyes. Very talkative and playful. Asking kisses and hugs all the time 😂 much clingier than his tabby brother.

I took in a white cat who was deaf - he was out near a road with traffic.
Best cat I ever had! Sadly, he eventually succumbed to FIV after 11 years.
My next white cat was a white Angora, beautiful cat but with a troubled upbringing by the previous owners.
This one passed away after 8 years. I dearly miss them both! 😿

Hello, my last cat, who passed away in Janruary this year 2023 was a great friend, was all white, and yes he was indeed deaf. Called him Lil buddy. I used to think maybe he was just playing me, and i would try to get him to react when I was behind him and he was unaware. But he was deaf. Still his ears would twitch around as if he was listening to something.. He was male and could let out a good yeowl at times. He was very visually oriented and would lock eyes and follow me around to keep close tabs on me. . Just adopted two kitties the beginning of October, so i have been checking your videos. I just naturally call either of them lil buddy too.

My white kitty was solid white with long beautiful fur and yellow eyes. When he was 10 or so he was diagnosed with glaucoma and had one eye removed. He was the bestess one eyed beauty! Miss him dearly.

I have a Turkish Angora. White coat with light green eyes. He seems to be mostly deaf. I think that he can hear a few tones, though. I have, on more than one occasion, vacuumed less than a foot from him while he was sleeping on the carpet, without him waking up.

We adopted our cat. She was found by an elderly woman who couldn't take care of her, she heard the little kitten meowing under her house and tried to care for her (no mama), pound picked her up. We saw her in the kennel. She was pure white with green-yellowish eyes. I named her "Daisy, " because she reminded me of the coloring of the flower...pure white petals with a green-yellow center, beautiful cat. We love her.

Thanks for the video. Very informative. My Ben is white with a couple of
dirty spots on his head. He’s got one blue and one green eye and no real signs of deafness. Never been vocal, just chatters.

I have a pure white Persian named Casper, as well as Snuggles and Angel, who are also fluffy pure white, and none of them are deaf. In fact, their hearing is too good; I only need to slightly open a pouch in the kitchen, and they come running. If I so much as touch Angel's favourite toy, she suddenly shows up! 🐾

My all white, blue eyed cat Lars is not deaf. So he must be that rare 20%> I didn't know that most were deaf. Crazzy

I had an all white cat for 17 years, he was very friendly and mellow, although he could be sassy at times. Whenever I brought him to the vet they always told me my cat is very well behaved. He passed away in 2020 due to renal failure. I still miss him dearly. Now I adopted an almost all white cat with only black spots on his ear and tail.
