I know, it's a-paw-ling. As soon as there's pet-ential for a pun thread, these people extend their claws and rip the comments section apart like the side of a sofa on bonfire night.

Alternatively, the 4th July for Americans, whom I presume do not celebrate Bonfire Night as we Brits do.

That isn't a cat - it's a small panther.

[–]Medinari 2 points3 points ago

You should see him up and moving! I have trouble keeping him from being underweight, he's just so god damned active and HUGE (length and height wise). Also his tail reaches all the way to head. He's such a beast! A whiny, whiny beast!

Well we wanted his tie to match - he's a very fashion conscious cat. ;)

[–]darkescaflowne 54 points55 points ago

I need to know where you got the tie collar.

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 83 points84 points ago

Petco! They had a little bowtie, and a black and white checkered tie. So many prospects for kitty torment.

[–]catdog_has_feelings 1 point2 points ago

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 2 points3 points ago

His regular collar is black and white checkered, so...we may be getting that one soon.

[–]Bluewind55 4 points5 points ago

[–]Chachoregard 14 points15 points ago

Kinda wondering, is your kitty deaf? I heard out in the Internet that pure white kitties with blue eyes are deaf.

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 18 points19 points ago

Yup! See some of the comments above - he was born deaf.

[–]8bitAntelope 2 points3 points ago

Came to the comments to ask this. A lot of blue eyes white cats are deaf. I'm glad you gave him a good home despite the fact that he can't hear. He's a beautiful kitty.

[–]wondertwins 8 points9 points ago

This cat is probably a mod in r/malefashionadvice

[–]batfiend 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, the tie really brings them out. That cat should wear blue more often. I'm so sorry kitty...

[–]illaqueable 3 points4 points ago

How do you think he got the job..? Surely not his koalafications.

Oh, I made myself sad with my own bad pun. :(

[–]patrickbatemanlikess 1 point2 points ago

Normally I'm not into beastiality, but something about a cat in a tie...

[–]unknownart 0 points1 point ago

That tie really brings out the color in BusinessCat's eyes.

[–]rachelkip 57 points58 points ago

Is your kitty deaf? A long time ago my family took in our neighbor's neglected cat whenever she got pregnant. She once had a kitten who was completely white. The vet told us that purely white cats whose eyes remain blue later into life will be deaf, but I've heard other people say that only some of them will be.

So I'm just curious. I hope you don't mind my asking. :3

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 73 points74 points ago

Yup, he's deaf! Been that way since birth - I raised his litter from about 5 weeks old at the vet clinic I worked at, we figured it out pretty early.

There are two different genes for blue eyes in cats, and this one is linked to genetic deafness. The one you see commonly in Siamese cats generally gives them a paler blue color to the eye, and doesn't have a link to deafness. Same thing for most other animals too.

[–]trev93 42 points43 points ago

Science says kittens are the cutest

[–]Reesch 8 points9 points ago

Can't argue with that.

[–]batfiend 10 points11 points ago

Fun fact! If a kitty is white, and has one blue eye and one different coloured eye, the ear on the side of the face with the blue eye will be deaf, and the other ear will have hearing.

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 9 points10 points ago

Tru-fax. Although I will tell you that testing a cat's hearing for one-sided deafness is virtually impossible without some seriously high-tech equipment. Two kittens in Dorian's litter had one green and one blue eye, and we have always assumed they were both deaf on that side.

[–]batfiend 2 points3 points ago

Something regarding the amount of pigment they were born with means that if they're white all over, and have a blue eye, that side's ear will always be deaf. I wouldn't even know how to begin testing for deafness of one side, what with cats having the crazy animal superhearing and all.

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 3 points4 points ago

There's a special test you can do with electrodes measuring electrical response that's non-invasive, but involves sticking lots of wires on your animal and therefore incredibly difficult to use on most cats.

[–]batfiend 5 points6 points ago

Haha ohhh I can just imagine how well my cat would respond to someone trying to stick "lots of wires" on him.

Not well. Not well at all.

[–]wojx 8 points9 points ago

How does deafness affect your cat and you interacting with him?

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 31 points32 points ago

Mostly he's just really loud because he has no volume control, and doesn't respond to me yelling at him when he knocks my shit off the counters. Also I lost him for 20 minutes once when he was a kitten and fell asleep inside a drawer and I couldn't find him.

[–]SearchForTheSnark 5 points6 points ago

melts at the cuteness

[–]PhoneBitch 2 points3 points ago

Interesting! I had a white cat with blue eyes whose hearing was fine but, as you say, his blues were a lighter shade than your kitty. Had always heard that he should be deaf and now it's finally explained - thanks!

[–]jesbaker 3 points4 points ago

Very true. My friend has a pure white boxer,blue eyes, and deaf. Her name is Lola and she is a forever puppy :)

[–]Elostirion 2 points3 points ago

It's not all blue-eyed white cats. But something like 72% of white cats are deaf according to wiki.

[–]rightwords 2 points3 points ago

I was actually curious about this as well. My vet told me the same thing when I brought in a blue-eyed white cat we'd rescued from outside. She was not deaf, and the vet found it remarkable.

[–]Whyevernot55[S] 7 points8 points ago

There are two different genes for blue eyes in cats, and this one is linked to genetic deafness. The one you see commonly in Siamese cats generally gives them a paler blue color to the eye, and doesn't have a link to deafness. Same thing for most other animals too. Most of the blue-eyed white cats are deaf - I think there may be some link with their white coloring as well, since it's seen much more frequently in white cats, but don't quote me on that!

[–]SparkBunny 2 points3 points ago

Yep, it's a genetic link. Like siamese mixes are always blue-eyed, because the eye color is linked to the pointed coat gene.

[–]pepelepew69 24 points25 points ago

Sadly we only have 1 tie for now... but there may be more soon because holy crap he's adorable in it.

[–]meatywood 2 points3 points ago

You cat is absolutely beautiful. It always amazes me how white cats can stay whiter than my laundry even though I use bleach, oxyclean, and/or bluing. I think somebody needs to market cat saliva for laundry!

Cats with blue eyes are rare and usually means that they will have hearing problems on the sides that are blue. If not now the risk is higher near the middle of their life.
