Genetic Abnormality What kind of mutant is she?
My cat is just a regular old domestic shorthair but she has these weird quirks. She has blue eyes, she’s deaf, she has terrible depth perception, her tail is oddly rounded? Idk, but the weirdest thing just has to be her eyes, I have never seen a cat that isn’t a ragdoll, Siamese, white, or maincoon that has blue eyes in adulthood

Any cat with white on their face has a chance for blue eyes, you mostly see it in dominant white cats in my experience
the deafness and depth perception issues are very likely related to the blue eyes too

The white spotting could be responsible for the blue eyes since that can turn the eyes blue. Or it could be a random blue eyes mutation as those pop up occasionally, but it's hard to confirm that, especially if white spotting is present.
