White Cats Deaf Eyes. If 40 percent of these cats are deaf, it means the majority (60 percent) can hear. People ask why white cats with blue eyes are deaf.
In one 1997 study of white cats, 72% of the animals were found to be totally deaf. 1 the same gene that causes a white coat in cats can also sometimes result in deafness. No, cats with white coats are not albino.
But they are just like any normal cat and if you have the time then there are people that can help you train them.
The easiest way to determine whether or not a cat is an albino is by looking at their eyes. Studies have shown that solid white cats with two blue eyes have 65% to 85% chance of being deaf. If a cat with odd eyes is deaf, it is always on the same side as the blue eye. When one or both eyes are blue, anywhere from 60% to 80% of white cats will be deaf.
