Thread: White Kitten: Decision Time!

Conny, although I think it's good to know whether the kitten is deaf or not, frankly I don't think it should be a factor when one chooses their kitten - unless, of course, it's gonna live outside and wander on the streets, which I hardly think is the case.

My breeder told me there were two deaf ones in the litter (mine is one of them) and I really didn't mind. Only thing is, deaf cats do much better when they're around hearing cats - the hearing ones tend to act as a guide to the deaf ones. Other than that, they cope really well!

Well, apparently he's not deaf. But even if he was, it would make no difference.
Going round later....

Oooh he is stunning, I would have in in a flash.......Those eyes are mesmerising

Ooooh Louisa, how exciting! Little Whitey does look über cute. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
And yes, having 3 MCs thundering around is great fun.

The other thing is, which I did not mention before, is that we have been calling him 'Snowflake' for the last few weeks.....a ridiculous name which has sort of stuck! So it could be that our fate is sealed.

I know I also breed with white .
But for a breeder is it importent that they get a hearing kitten.
