Cat White
Cat White can refer to several distinct topics, requiring disambiguation:
-
Cat White (Color Genetics): A feline with predominantly white fur. This can be due to various genetic factors, including the dominant white gene (W), the white spotting gene (S), or albinism. The term generally applies to cats whose coat is largely or entirely white, regardless of the underlying genetic cause. Eye color can vary and is not necessarily indicative of albinism. Common eye colors in white cats include blue, green, yellow, and odd-eyed (one blue and one non-blue). Deafness is more prevalent in white cats, particularly those with blue eyes, due to a genetic link between pigmentation and inner ear development.
-
Cat White (Character Archetype): A fictional cat character with white fur. This archetype is often, but not always, associated with purity, innocence, or magical abilities, depending on the genre and narrative context. However, the color white can also be used ironically to subvert expectations.
-
Cat White (Breeder or Owner): A possible surname or given name combined with a descriptor ("Cat") to identify an individual involved in cat breeding or ownership. Without further context, this usage is speculative and lacks specificity.
To determine the intended meaning of "Cat White," additional context is necessary.
