One of our ragdolls. Sadly she passed away about 5 years ago. We still miss her.

I just lost my buddy of 18 years a couple of months ago. Still completely heartbroken ...

This is Buster. He's kinda shy.
This is Buster's mother, Cry Baby. When it comes to food, she is NOT shy.
This is Lillibet. No relation.
And this is Jessie. Jessie is Buster's sister and Cry Baby's daughter. Jessie seldom comes out of the shadows. She is very shy.
These cats belonged to my step son who died in January. Buster has been re-homed but the others are still looking.

This is Rubik. He's with me since he was one week young. Now Rubik is 16 yo. He is very shy but a very sweet cat.

This Maine coon also hates me.
I did not Photoshop those eyes. It is the reflection of the blue sky on the tapetum lucidum.

This kitten was born deaf, a genetic mutation often seen in white cats. They do not develop properly the tapetum lucidum, the reflective membrane in the eye, and their auditory ossicles are also faulty.

It was explained to me by a vet that white cats who have different colored eyes will not have the mutation that causes deafness. This was born out by Ralph, our white cat, who could hear a can opener from 500 yards. He had one yellow and one blue eye.

Blindness is not a part of the manifestations of this genetic disorder.
The lack of the reflecting layer impairs dark vision, and the nearly colorless pupil renders them sensible to harsh light.
Genes are seldom strictly on-off but affect the organism in a complicated spectrum of ways. You get statistical probabilities but never 100% certainty.
