Key Facts About White CatsRarity:
Pure white coats make up only about 5% of the total cat population.
Deafness: White catsโespecially those with blue eyesโhave a higher rate of congenital deafness due to their genetics.
Sun Sensitivity: Pale fur lacks pigment protection, making white cats very vulnerable to sunburn and skin damage.
Not Always Albino: Standard white cats have masking or white-fur genes, which differ from true albinism.
