White Kittens: Cute Photos

White cats in various countries have been regarded as bringing either good or bad luck. Many people, however, see white cats as beautiful animals.

Although all kittens start out with blue eyes, this eye color is more significant in white cats than others because there is a genetic connection between blue-eyed cats and deafness. Amazingly, even if a blue-eyed white cat has just a couple of colored hairs, its hearing is likely to be normal.

Not all white cats have blue eyes. Some have orange eyes, and some are even odd colored - one blue, one orange. If one of the eyes is orange, then hearing should be okay. They're all simply beautiful.
