She sounds lovely, I have a deaf cat and I always think that they have that something extra to compensate, I had my deaf cat who is nearly four because I didn't think any one would want him he is just such an affectionate and funny boy he also knows signs and will sit on my vacuum cleaner so that I can hoover him (the hearing cats all run away) he doesn't like being picked up though and screams the place down (he cannot hear himself) but I bet they can in the next road.

I always think that you get back what you put in and you clearly love your deffo as I do mine.
