Bella is a beautiful kitty! I've heard that white cats are more prone to being deaf. Funny how cats will ignore toys you buy for them, but decide they like other household items. My cat Sara used to play with bottle caps, miniature teacups (much to Mom's chagrin), & plastic bags. She would get inside the plastic bags & use them as shields & slide across the floor toward people (or her sister, Miko) and then swat at them while covered by the bag. It was pretty funny. She also played fetch. She'd bring a mini teacup or a bottle cap over & plop it on the floor in front of me. Then she'd bat my ankle & meow until I threw it for her. She'd chase after it & bring it right back.
