Will the kitten be deaf?
Hi everyone,
I went with my g/f to see a whole bunch of kittens (from three mom's, all same residence!) and decided on this little feller: http://www.flickr.com/photos/derien/12890617/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derien/12890622/ (He's 4 weeks old) I totally fell in love with him because of all the kittens in the room, he was leaping and bounding like a crazy thing and didn't cower when I reached to pick him up like most of the rest did and he seemed friendly and confident. My g/f chose the only tabby of the bunch which was a week or more younger and the runt of the litter but a real cutie too. We pick them up on 3rd June. The thing is this: I live in the UK and I'd like my cats to be able to roam in the day and play outside together while we're at work if they want, but I have been reading that cat's with predominantly white fur and blue eyes have a good chance they are deaf. So, if the likkle white and black one was deaf I'd have to keep them both indoors. I'd love him still as much, but they'd have to be indoor cats then. Basically, I would like someone to confirm that because he has a black head/face, a bit on his back hip and a black tail, that his hearing should be fine and I can stop worrying as it's mostly pure white cats that suffer from deafness??? Many thanks. J |
