deaf

Sometimes cats are born deaf or lose their hearing from other causes. As a cat I can tell you, hearing is quite important for us. It helps us to hear our prey or hear what our humans tell us. Without hearing, cats can’t hear their humans talking. But if the environment is safe and the deaf cat stays indoors, they can have a good life. They can feel vibrations and see movement. So, humans might have to tread louder so the cat knows they are approaching.

Deaf cats especially like to be up high so they can survey their territory easily. Cats in general like to be up high, but it can be safer for a deaf cat to be able to get up high easily. Or if they live with another cat who can hear, they can rely on the other cat for visual cues.

So, if you find you have a deaf cat, make sure they have a safe high place they can get to and tread loud. Don’t forget to pet them. They will still like the affection as we all do.

“Some cats is blind, And stone-deaf some, But ain’t no cat wuz ever dumb.” —Anthony Euwer

Cats aren’t dumb. They are quite intelligent. That’s why they don’t talk all the time. Now if humans could understand that, then perhaps they won’t expect us all to make polite conversation all the time.

“The cat has been described as the most perfect animal, the acme of muscular perfection and the supreme example in the animal kingdom of the coordination of mind and muscle.” —Roseanne Ambrose Brown

Cats are better athletes than I could ever be. They have control over every muscle in their body and all their movements are graceful and elegant. They don’t appear to have to try hard to be like this. They just are.
