My Best Friend’s Deaf Cat

When we were kids my best friend was telling me about how her cat had given birth to some white kittens.
"One of them is deaf," she said.
"How do you know?" I asked.

Surely there must be another way to do this. But then again, I’ve heard that white cats tend to be deaf. It is due to genetics, just as torties tend to be female.
