Greetings, Mr_Winston! This may sound like a weird question, but I'm curious. Is your cat either white, deaf, or both? I'm asking because heterochromia (two different colored eyes) is sometimes associated with Waardenburg Syndrome, which in cats usually results in white fur (a white forelock in humans) and deafness.

Hey. :) Perhaps I should have worded my last post slightly better, it's actually me that has the eyes like that. :D

My hearings not the best in the world, tends to pick up on some things that others don't, but then miss everything else! I get a blonde wisp in my hair at the front in summertime, but I think thats quite common.
