lovely  :Luv2:
itisn't just blue eyed who are deaf either -can be any eye colour in white cats.
interesting to know how she was assessed as deaf -it's very hard to be sure within a litter of kittens as they react to the stimulus around them and so compensate for lack of hearing -normally only becomes obvious when the kitten is on its own away from other cats.

awww what beautiful cats, i have been readng a book called The Character of Cats and there is a section within the book that explains that alot of white cats/dogs have hearing difficulties due to a certain part of the brain that is connected to the spine.

Thanks for your good advice on the cancer bit Mark :).she goes out on the the large balcony its wired in so no accidents. yes we used to put childs/babys sunblock on my old calico cats ears. i would hate to see A ichan get ear problems due to the sun
