White is not a color of a cat, it is the absence of color.

• WHITE: White cats are true phenomena, in so many ways. White is actually the ABSENCE of color, at least in cats, and is similar to an albino animal. White cats often have blue eyes, and blue-eyed white cats may be deaf in many cases. Occasionally, a white cat may have one green eye and one blue eye. These cats are often deaf in the ear which corresponds to the blue eye. The white cat cannot make the pigment which causes the coat color. White is sometimes referred to as "dominant white", as the white coloration gene masks or covers up all other colors! Underneath each and every white cat is a different color cat with all the genes necessary for other coat colors and patterns; however, the white gene has suppressed them (dominated them).

Here's some fun facts.

-Lemons float, but limes don't.

-A cat's tongue actually laps water backwards.

-Tigers don't just have stripped fur. Their skin is striped as well.

-(this next one is both sad and beautiful) A woman was washed in away in the tsunami that happened in Japan. The last text that she sent to her husband was, "I want to go home." Since then, her husband has taken scuba diving lessons and, to this day, is still searching for his wife's body so he can bring her home.
