It is usually the blue eyed white male animals that may have hearing problems in one or both ears or be partially deaf in one or both, however even this is not always the case. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding white animals. We have two White Boxers both hearing, both excellent eye sight. We also have a long haired White (older) kitten of 12 months who has normal hearing & sight. He has green eyes. If you look closely at the eyes on this kitten you will see his eyes are changing colour from blue to green. He is going to be a housecat anyway - they have an outside cat run attached to the end of the kitchen
