No, not all blue eyed cats are deaf. If any any are then it is usually a condition brought about by some defect within the cats ears at birth. There is a more likelihood of an albino cat being born deaf. It doesn't mean having blue eyes makes you deaf.

Calico cats with blue eyes may not be that common but they are not always deaf. There is not one specific type of cat that is always deaf, however it is more likely for a white cat with blue eyes to be deaf but not all of them are.

Many white cats are deaf. Deafness is often linked to the gene that causes cats to be white only, usually if they also have blue eyes.

White cats with BLUE EYES are deaf, not blind. But if the white cat has any other color of eyes, or if it has one blue eye and one eye that is not blue, then they usually are not deaf.

No breed of cat is always or known to be deaf. Though some of every breed are deaf, it is a medical condition that they can either be born with or develop later on in life..

Is it possible for a cat to go deaf from a loud noise?

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

What are the light blue eyes of a horse called?

For a long time, people believed that a blue-eyed horse was blind. This is not true. Blue eyes don't mean anything, they are just blue. Typically, there is white on the face that covers the eye, especially in spotted breed such as the American Paint Horse, but sometimes a dark horse will just have blue eyes. Sometimes the horse can have one blue eye and one brown, or even have eyes that are mixed blue and brown in the same eye.
