A lot of white cats are deaf. If she doesn't "listen" to you, be aware of this. She's either deaf or a typical cat.
Mine don't eat orchids. They go outside to eat grass, then come in and throw it up on the floor.
She is not deaf. She is just a feline, a female and very independent, thank you very much!
She is also a lap kitty, with a purr that rivals a Boing 747.
