White cats and deafness:

Researchers found that only 17% to 22% of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40% if the cat has one blue eye. Interestingly, sometimes the cat is only deaf in the ear on the side of the blue eye.
Then 65% to 85% of all white cats with both eyes blue are deaf.

TGIF Lairians!

Thanks @Bald Jedi, for sharing your white boy. Double Bubbles Cuddles made a perfect model this week.
