gz said...: I'll have to talk to the miller. I don't think that he is deaf. He is about eight years old, and has just has sinusitis!!
He wasn't a happy cat then.
genetics I suppose, Cro, as practically all gingers are Toms and tabbies are Queens; 21 April 2012 at 08:12

Yes you are correct that white cats can be deaf but that is usually linked to if they have blue eyes as well and it is definitely a genetic fault. They are also prone to cancer coz their pale skin burns easily when they bask in the sun - as cats do.; 21 April 2012 at 10:21
