When your cat has it's back to you clap your hands together really loud. If the cat's ears don't at least flicker then they didn't hear you. You could also drop something on the floor (such as a book) behind them and see if you get the same reaction. It's best to take your cat to the vet to be diagnosed properly. It's very important to check this out with the vet if your cat is allowed outside. If the cat is deaf he won't hear his natural enemies come up behind him/her. Marcy On that same note, a cat not responding to you (as stated above) does not always mean deafness. Definitely go to the vet. I was certain my year old cat was deaf when I adopted her, but after a visit to the vet I learned she had accumulated balls of wax in both ears so large that they were actually blocking her ear canals, which is why she could not hear. Evidently this problem is not all that uncommon, especially among cats whom have been living in large shelters. A simple extraction done by the vet fixes it, but it can be a lifelong, reoccurring problem. You wouldn't want to drop the book behind it because it could feel the vibrations through the floor

First thing is first, not all white kittens are deaf. It is usually ones with blue eyes. Second, it is to do with genetics. There are certain traits in a creature's DNA that make up what they look like, how they act, what diseases they will have, and basically anything. Have you heard of dominate and recessive traits?
