Vestibular and optokinetic responses of the white cat

Acta Otolaryngol. 1977 Jul-Aug;84(1-2):72-9. doi: 10.3109/00016487709123944.

Abstract

The vestibular and optokinetic responses of a group of white cats were evaluated and compared with the responses from a control group of pigmented animals. The results indicate that in all cases the white cats exhibited varying degrees of vestibular and/or optokinetic dysfunction, which in some animals varied from test session to test session.
