[Jacob-list] Statistics on white cats

[Peg Bostwick]

Hopefully Ingrid will respond directly - but I did talk to her way back when
we had our two white ones, and at that time she gave the "one big spot"
explanation.

The issue of deafness in white cats is tied to the color of their eyes.  If
the white cat has blue eyes, it will be deaf from birth.  If it has one
green eye or both eyes are green, the cat can hear.  Your local veterinarian
will verify that.

 

In rabbits the eyes have to be pink, not blue, to be a true albino.  And
since many of the Jacobs have blue eyes, if they were a true albino would
their eyes also be pink??

 

What does Ingrid Painter have to say about totally white Jacobs??
