    White cats with blue eyes have a higher-than-average tendency to be deaf, but that doesn't mean it only happens to blue-eyed kitties. It's something in the genetics. Have you done any testing, like snapping your fingers when she cannot see, and seeing if she reacts? Might be something to have the vet check next time you are in. Even if she's completely deaf, doesn't mean she cannot live a great life, but I wouldn't ever let her out unsupervised or off-leash - the world is an even more hazardous place when you cannot hear danger coming!

    Kittens are funny, I have heard of others who "sing to their supper" as well!

    My Creamsicle is deaf but she can feel vibrations such as heavy boots walking through the house, doors closing, the garage door going up and down, etc. She lives a great life so I wouldn't worry too much about it if Cam is deaf but have the vet check her ears very carefully. I adopted out a kitten once and the owner told me that she was deaf but, as it turned out, she had a severe case of ear mites and once that problem was handled, her hearing returned. In the meantime, don't let her outdoors unless on a leash. Please keep us posted.
    Blessings,
    Mary
