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.
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

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.

Some cross-eyed cat breeds include the Siamese, Himalayan, and Ragdoll. These breeds are known for their striking blue eyes and affectionate personalities.

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.
