There IS common impression prevailing that
white cats with blue eyes are invariably deaf !;
but letter from New Zealand correspondent,
printed in Nature, shows that they are not SO in
Ill cases. SAT Tasanki, N. z" says the writer,
II saw white cat with blue eyes which was
not ut all deaf, and good many OF its kittens
were white and had light-blue eyes. As many
Of these had perfect hearing as were afflicted
with deafness. This cat had grown-up kittcn,
perfectly black, which had sometimes also
white young ones With blue eyes; it showed, as
lid the old cat, . singular partiality for them.
On one OCCASION it happened that the old white
cat and her black daughter had kittens at the
same time; amongst them there was only one
white kitten with blue cyes,-the black cats.
The two fought ficrcely Tor possession OF the
coreted beauty, and the old cat frequently took
it away and placed it amongst her own. Ono
morning the unfortunate object Of quarrel was
found divided by the recommendation Of some
feline Solomon. and each cat quite contentedly
in possession Of half. Both Of these ]itters had
some tortosc-shcll colorcd kittens among them,
OF which y moicty appeared to have their hear
lug imperfect.
