White cats have a pretty presidential history and are considered good luck all around the world. Like calico and tortoiseshell cats, all-white cats aren't linked to a specific breed. Rather, many different breeds—both long-hair and short-hair— can present a pure white coat, including Persians, Turkish Angoras, American Short-Hairs, Siamese, White Cat: A Minibombo Book Devon Rex. So, what causes their all-white coats? If a cat has the dominant W gene, known as the masking gene, it will "hide" every other coat color and pattern gene in the cat's genetic makeup, resulting in a snowy, white coat. Accordingly, white or lightly colored cats often have light eyes. All-white cats can have Black Cat variety of striking White Cat: A Minibombo Book colors, like blue, green, yellow, orange, or a combination of colors. The same genetic factors that give white cats their snowy coats and unique eye colors can also cause total or partial deafness in many kitties. It's believed that the ear closest to the "oddly" colored eye or both ears if both eyes are uniquely colored will be the ear with deafness. Be careful not to startle them and use visual signs rather than verbal signs to communicate. It's White Cat: A Minibombo Book best to keep a partially deaf or fully deaf cat indoors at all times; it may have trouble avoiding hazards or protecting himself from potential predators. No, cats with white coats are not albino. There's a key White Cat: A Minibombo Book White cats simply have a gene for white fur, while albinism is a genetic condition that results in a complete lack of color pigmentation in the skin, fur, and eyes. The easiest way to determine whether or not a cat is an albino is by looking at their eyes. White cats, as previously mentioned, can have a wide range of eye colors. Albino cats, however, often have eyes that look very pale blue, pink, or red. Like humans, cats with light or white coats are at an increased risk of developing sunburn —especially on their ears, eyelids, and nose. Because they're more susceptible to sunburns, white cats also have a higher risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma or skin cancer. It's important to take the right steps to protect your cat's light skin from sun damage:. Unlike allegedly unlucky black catsall-white cats symbolize good luck and good fortune in cultures across the globe.

But the most striking—and in-demand—white cat, perhaps, is the White Cat: A Minibombo Book. Their long, silky coats and big, expressive eyes look super elegant.

Beginning in the Middle Ages, black cats became associated with Satan, witches, and witchcraft; some people went so far as to believe that black cats were cohorts to witches or even witches who had taken on another form. This wide-spread superstition resulted in the horrific mass killing of black cats—and sometimes even their owners.

The Clintons adopted the cat, whom they named Socks, and a year later brought him with them to the White House when Chelsea's dad, William J. Clinton, became president. Socks quickly scouted out several favorite snoozing spots in his new home, including the Oval Office, a wing chair in the West Wing and the office of Betty Currie, the president's secretary. But he wasn't a lazy feline. Hillary Clinton brought Socks with her when she visited kids and senior citizens, and he typically charmed them all. The public became so besotted with Socks over the years that he was mentioned in the TV comedy "Murphy Brown," appeared on "Larry King Live" — in Muppet form — when Kermit the Frog was hosting, and was even depicted along with President Clinton in a series Black Cat stamps printed in the Central African Republic.

Arthur and Franklin Pierce -- left no record of having pets. Many presidents and their children had dogs and cats in the White House. President and Mrs. Bush have two dogs and a cat living with them -- the dogs are named Barney and Miss Beazley and the cat is India. But there have been many unusual presidential pets as well. President Calvin Coolidge may have had the most pets. NEWS WORD BOX He had a pygmy hippopotamus, six dogs, a bobcat, a goose, a donkey, a cat, two lion cubs, an antelope, and popular issue record wallaby a wallaby. President Herbert Hoover had several dogs pygmy hippopotamus and his son had two pet alligators, which sometimes took walks outside the White House.
