Lady.


Here is a picture of my cat 'Lady'..that i told Sharon about..she is pure white like those squirrels, that she has in her garden....she as blue eyes, so is not a true albino as theyu have red... The vet said pure white cats with blue eyes usually meant they were either blind in at least one eye or deaf, as it IS a genetic defect..but happily she was neither and is a very healthy 5 year old now...however she is an 'hermaphrodite'..she as no womb (from birth) but has got both male & female characteristics..and hormones, but i called her Lady as i wanted her to be known as a girl..that is what she looks like to me...she is a lovely girl and gets on well with all the other cats..just part of the family.

  1. She is so lovely, Joy! She looks like a lady. I have never seen a white cat before. I have thought of getting a cat, but Martha is all I can handle right now. Love Kerry

  3. I never knew that about white cats! How unique Lady is! She is beautiful. How many cats do you have? I used to always have at least two around and at times when I had a barn cat she was always springing up with a tons of babies..who had babies. When Mike got ashma and it very bad, (he was hospitalized a few times and stayed on oxygen) and showed an alergy to them, I couldn't have them around but I miss their different personalities and the companionship.

  4. You can of course have 'pedigree' cats that ARE pure white..as they are bred that way...but the normal common moggy...like Lady, are never white except if they have a faulty gene ( so the vet told me)her fault came out in her sex organs/hormones..NOT with Blindness or Deafness..but i am pleased about that, its would be worse for her to not be able to hear or see...she wont miss anything else as she as never been interested..Bless her.
