The white cat character it is very quiet and peaceful: the legends say so, but also many common and much more recent experiences. This also depends on the fact that some of them are also deaf.
It is a symbol of candor and calm; it exudes an aura of positivity and wisdom. Those who choose it are often attracted by this, and by its affectionate and eager to cuddle way. As always, however, there are exceptions.
The personality
Actually the character of the white cat it is mixed: British shorthairs - for example - are friendly and sociable, while Persian cats are calmer and more peaceful. In general she has a very sweet, quiet and reserved personality; moreover, he becomes very fond of his bipedal family.
The fact of often suffer from deafness it makes him appear (certainly in the eyes of the less attentive) even a little dull, not just 'Zen'. Furthermore, legends tell of specimens with forked tongues, not very bright and intelligent; not exactly responsive.
Deafness
In reality, the character of the white cat is much more complex and fascinating than that. The wrong impression it can give depends only on the possible deafness. This pathology mainly affects i felines with blue eyes and it is linked to the W gene. It is obvious that if Miao does not hear, she will never be able to learn her name or be particularly reactive to our calls, especially if they are sound. It cannot hear even the loudest noises.
To understand if our cat has hearing problems we can do some home test. I recommend, no need to scare him with pot lids or stadium horns. For example, let's try snapping your fingers near his ears while he sleeps: if he continues to snore and doesn't move an inch, the diagnosis is quite certain. In any case, let's not replace the veterinarian, only he is able to carry out specific tests that leave no doubts.
Fortunately, he has other senses
The character of the white cat is very calm too, but not only genetic issues. If we have adopted one (or intend to do so) do not worry. He has four other highly developed senses with which he is able to live safely and happily.
The deaf cat live quietly as well in nature, empowering smell and sight, although it is still more at risk if kept too much outside and in contact with potential dangers. For example, he will not be able to hear a car, dogs or other dangers approaching. It is an absolutely normal and self-sufficient feline, but it is better to live in a home environment. On the other hand, what is the stray cat that is safe?
Famous breeds and cats
The character of the white cat has been made known from famous films and cartoons. We remember among all Duchess de Gli Aristocatti, very elegant and refined. Among the purebred felines, if we don't want to go to the cattery to save a helpless and frightened little cat, there is certainly the American wirehair, the 'punk' of the feline world, very rare and with a curly coat.
Then there are the munchkin, also called dachshund cat; and the British tipped, with a white undercoat and a dominant hair with a colored tip: the result is a luminous effect, iridescent when it moves.
Whatever breed our four-legged friend is, the whiteness of the coat reflects one peaceful but multi-faceted personality. He is a very intelligent and loving feline, affectionate with everyone, let alone with those who allow him to live a safe and warm life.
