A white chinchilla. There’s a decent chance it’s deaf. Great cat though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_sensorineural_deafness_in_cats
That's very interesting. I have a cat that looks almost exactly like the one depicted but the orange in our cat has grown out a little bit more. When she was about 6 months old she looked exactly like the picture. Fairly confident ours isn't deaf though because she's reactive to when I unlock the back door to let her outside lol. It could be that she's not got the right genes though because her mom was Siamese and Dad was orange and she came out as a flame point.
