Are all white cats with blue eyes deaf or just hard headed?

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? A white kitten with blue eyes all have dominate traits in their DNA that cause them to most likely be deaf.

Why are black and white cats called tuxedo cats?

because the fur is usually black and white with the white on the belly as if the black is the tuxedo jacket and the white the under shirt

To be clear: Only those with that specific pattern (mostly black, white on the belly, neck, and possibly paws and muzzle) are "tuxedo cats." Cats where the black and white portions are distributed more randomly are not tuxedo cats.

Which breed of cat is the friendliest breed?

Well, if you want a 'friendly' cat I suggest that you get a very relaxed breed of cat, like a Ragdoll, Himalayan, or a Maine Coon.

Can Siamese cats see color?

No, not likechameleons or anything of that sort. They can, however, have their fur get a little darker or change in color very slightly from the time they are kittens to maturity. Older cats might become paler or grow some gray hair mixed in their coat. Some cats also become slightly lighter or darker when their winter coat grows in. All cats can have small changes like this, its not just limited to the Siamese breed.

What is the difference in cats of an altered male and unaltered female?

Whether a female is spayed or not isnt' visible once the incision heals.

A non-neutered male will have large testicles, and a neutered male will have small, fuzzy sacs where the testicles were before removal.You can tell a fixed male from a female because a female cat's rear will just be the anus, whereas the male still has a scrotum and penis which look like fuzzy little balls below the anus.I'm not sure where you'd find pictures of this, but it's really easy to see.

What is the MEANEST breed of cat?

Personally I don't think the breed makes that much of a difference. I think it is the raising and teaching of the cat and how stressed or happy a cat is that determines weather it's behaviour would come across as 'mean' or not, breeds give you a guideline on typical behaviours, how energetic, how big they may grow, moulting etc..

This usually means it's a Siamese cat. I know Siamese have brown in their fur as well, but if their young, it will take some age for the brown to appear. If it's not a Siamese cat, it could also mean the cat is more likely to be deaf.
