No, flame-point Siamese cats are not deaf simply because of their color. Unlike some other breeds where certain coat patterns (such as
white cats with blue eyes ) can be linked to deafness, flame-point coloration doesn’t carry that risk. While being a flame-point doesn’t make a Siamese cat more likely to be deaf, like any other cat, they can develop hearing issues from other causes, such as aging, illness, or injury. Color alone, however, isn’t a factor.
