7. Eye color and coat color really don't determine deafness
it's just more common in all white cats with blue or bi-colored eyes, but just as many are hearing.
My tabby and white cat Jasper-who only lived outside because he freaked out indoors- had skin cancer on one of his white legs. He had two surgeries, then they removed the leg because neither surgery had an effect on the cancer. He was fine after that, but I recall the vet saying that all light colored dogs and cats-and any with light patches of fur-were more prone to skin cancer these days. Another good reason to keep them indoors!
