That reminds me of something I read; I think there are two ways cats can have blue eyes--the siamese-type genes, which are OK, and the white cat-blue eyes gene, which is linked to deafness. I didn't know they would be deaf on the side of their blue eye tho, that is weird. I love that avatar (of somebody whose name I can't think of now) that is a white cat with a blue and a yellow eye.

Here is a cat trivia for you: why do some cats have red eyes when you take their picture, and some have green eyes? (see difference between Minky and Skunky on the couch.)
