Re: Are all white cats with different colored eyes deaf?

I appreciate all the answers. Just to be clear, our white cat had one green eye and one blue eye.

Also, as far as keeping a home safe for a deaf cat, it is VITAL! Before people jump on me for cruelty, I wanted to note that we had an electric fence put around our yard and our cat wore a collar that kept her from leaving the yard.

But here is the CRUCIAL part. She was not allowed outside and had no real desire to go outside. However, if the door was left open and she could not find us inside, she might venture outside and we never wanted to fear that she'd get hit by a car.

THE IMPORTANT PART: she did not get an electric shock on a regular basis, maybe twice in her life and it could have saved her life. ALso, if anyone has deaf cats, have you noticed that they don't like to be alone? Ours didn't. It wanted a person nearby - at all times.
