White and Blue eyed Cats

Are cats With White Fur And Blue Eyes Always Blind and or deaf?

No.Some white cats suffer from congenital deafness caused by a degeneration of the inner ear. This condition is associated with blue irises. In white cats with mixed-coloured eyes (odd-eyed cats), it has been found that deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side.An estimated 72% of the general white and blue eyed cats have been found to be totally deaf.

I have a white and blue eyed cat, and she has no sight problems. I know this for a sad, but true fact. 

It is a common misconception that most people have. But it is not true!
