It is generally accepted that your cat's coat is a good barometer of the state of your cat's health. The coat reflects the caliber of a cat's diet, level of activity and overall condition.
I assume you have tried bathing the cat to see if the yellow will wash off. You can try using dish soap to shampoo her. A little bit of laundry bluing will help to neutralize yellow on the fur, and is some times used on show cats (so the rumors go) but I don't think I'd try it at home. Take her to a groomer for that.
On the other hand, if you think that the cat isn't dirty, but the fur is changing from the inside you'll probably want to see your vet. At 9 months she's probably due in again soon, right?
It might be nothing, maybe your kitty is fine, but she might also not be getting enough vitamins, or she might be sick. She's still a kitten, and vitamin deficiencies take time to show up.
If you've got a good relationship with your vet you might be able to call and ask if they have advice. The vet techs or receptionists might even offer to see your kitty with out an appointment (or a fee if you stay in the waiting area) and tell you if they think you need to make an appointment for your cat.
i had a white cat with blues eyes that was deaf also! it goes away, i really couldn't tell you why it happens but we have a black and white cat this happens to also
