How cute! Great pictures, too.

I was annoyed to see, in the comments, someone pushing the myth that odd-eyed white cats are almost always deaf. In fact, it is blue-eyed white cats which may (or may not) be deaf, and odd-eyed ones are sometimes deaf only on the side with the blue eye. I did a little double-checking via Google to make sure I was remembering correctly, and then posted my own comment to that effect.

I noticed that error and thought about posting a comment, but didn't. I'm glad you did.

There's lots of confusion about that, yeah. This cat could be deaf in one ear, but probably is not completely deaf. Although, I was thinking about this - maybe if the cat is deaf, or even partially deaf, that might be why he/she can tolerate public transportation - fewer or maybe no noises to make the cat skittish.

That is such a nice story. Thanks for posting it.

That's so funny! They really love their cats over in England.
