"My Baby" - Soft long haired white -blue eyed...What breed is he?

by Sarah
(Seattle, WA, USA)

Hi -- My Baby Valcor NeNee McFatty Sweetie - Valcor for short- was a co-workers cat that just started coming to her home. Valcor is huge ~20 lbs; super people friendly once he gets to know you (follows me around like a little toddler & has to 'touch' me when he sleeps ;) ) ; deaf; all white/blue-eyed/deaf; and long haired that sheds all year- yet -is the softest softest fur ever!!

I realize he is a mix of something, but have no idea what. Any thoughts??

Hi Sarah,

I know this is far-fetched, but we lost a cat, Casper, that looks identical to yours in October 2011. Big, white, long hair turkish angora with bright blue eyes. We'd had him for almost 7 years. Can you maybe tell me where your co-worker lived at the time that the cat started coming over?

We were on 70th st 98115, Seattle - near Greenlake.

We searched for a full year, posting signs, contacting shelters, posting lost ads. Hell, I'm still searching for him now. I don't know if this will reach you, but I hope it does.

I'll keep checking this board for a response.

He looks just like my kitty. Mis Princess Patunia, only she has green eyes and is not deaf as a matter of fact her hearing is quite good! When she hears people pull in the drive way she perks up and growls at em. Although she is the sweetest fat love muffin ever! She too follows me around every where i go and has to be touching me during her or my sleeping times. She is also so vocal that i think she talks more then i do. So of course i talk back to her. I taught her "lay down" (and she actually listens) !! I have had her for 8 years now since she was just a little tiny hand sized fluff ball. Now she is a fatty macfattster... 19 1/2 LBS !! she is so smart and so well behaved that she has actually turned a couple dog lovers around to cat lovers. I cant even imagine having a better bestie to have this long term relationship with Lol

Valcor is beautiful. I don't know what breed he is but he looks a lot like my white cat although her fur isn't as long as his. Whatever breed, he is beautiful.

I remember when I was young my aunt had a beautiful white, blue-eyed deaf cat. Everyone loved him and she would never have considered having him put down! That's absolutely too negative to consider. We used to be awakened often in the middle of the night by his walking on the piano keyboard when I would forget to cover it after doing my practice (I was piano crazy then and would play any piano I could get to!) My aunt used to tease me and say she was going to ban me from the piano room if I didn't stop leaving the keyboard open for him to walk on.

Looking back over the years, I think he was probably a musical cat -- after all, Beethoven was deaf and look at all the wonderful work he produced despite his handicap! Who knows: she may have had a Beethoven Cat and we just didn't know.

Of course it would be pure conjecture on my part, but the size and fur reminds me of a mixture of Maine Coon and Angora. The white cats with blue eyes are often deaf. Dogs too. I have a white cat with blue eyes that is also deaf. She is a short-hair and only 6 pounds. Her name is Pandora, but she'll never know that. I actually call her my little Helen Keller because she does what she wants, wherever she wants, and whenever she wants. The only one who doesn't know she is deaf is her. People have asked why I don't put her down and I am always stunned by the question. She is happy-go-lucky, has fun all the time and is learning hand signs. She makes me laugh every day and I would never interrupt such a beautiful, joyful, carefree life as hers.
