someone there?

I think I may hear a voice

a faint voice

but I see nothing

I have no need to go to the vet

I am blind and deaf

yes, that is my final answer

a treat? sight restored

a treat? hearing restored

a treat? full motor dexterity restored
and off to the vet we go

no intention to offend is meant to those with disabilities
neither Shoe, the foster, nor I intend any disrespect
to anyone struggling with same

if anyone is interested, Shoe is in a geodome
which is covered with a throw
and is placed on blankets
with blue tissue paper (a favorite paper under which to hide toys) in front of the geodome
and a lamp on our right
he's always cold (but not hypothyroid)
he's not spoiled
at all
at least, to hear him tell it

cats

funny

aww

If my cat had a hearing disability I'd name him Def Leopard

My girlfriend and I have a deaf cat! He is a funny one.

Is he really loud? We had a deaf and blind one once, and he meowed loud enough to bring down the house. Since no feedback, of course.

He’s 11 to. He does never roll over to show his belly, we think it’s because it makes him feel vulnerable, but he is super sweet still

Yes, that's a super vulnerable position for a cat. Most of the cats we've had didn't show their tummy.

He sometimes is. Mostly no, but we assume he lost his hearing as he got older. Sometimes when we come home he sees us and meows super loud

I had to have the vet explain that loudness to me; I'm not always the brightest bulb. But if you can't hear your own voice, it's >>>

natural to increase the volume. (Just think of old persons shouting at each other.) Thank you for loving + caring for a special needs cat.
