For example solid white blue-eyed Foreign White or Ojos Azules cats are not linked to deafness. Deafness depends on the cat's genotype (genetic make-up), and not its phenotype (physical appearance). Therefore, not all solid white cats with one or two blue eyes are deaf.
This illustrates that cats with a solid white coat and blue eyes, such as Foreign White or Ojos Azules, do not have a connection to deafness. Deafness is determined by the cat's genetic characteristics (genotype), rather than its physical traits (phenotype). As a result, not all solid white cats with one or two blue eyes are deaf.
