Hi there,

I have a six month old kitten who i think may be deaf. He does not seem to know his name yet (even though I have had him since he was 10wks old) and I have also noticed that he does not seem to notice loud noises. He is also a very quiet kitten. I have two other cats of 1yr old and they are very vocal but I have only heard Milo a couple of times and when he does meow it is very quiet. This morning, when I got up he was sitting on my window sill looking out, the blinds were closed so I made a loud clapping noise but he did not even move a muscle and continued to look straight out of the window.

Does anyone have any advice on this? This would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Aww that is such a shame. I think the only way you will know is by taking him to the vets!! Fingers crossed it isn't the case though... good luck

Thanks for your replies,

I am not sure about the food as he always follows my other two cats into the kitchen! So he may just be guessing there is food, or maybe he can smell it! He is very close to my cat George and follows him everywhere! I am now worrying as he is let outside and thinking he may not be able to hear the traffic! He has never gone out of the garden but he might one day!

I will book an appointment with my vet for today and hopefully they will be able to tell mem for sure.

Thank you once again

Thank you again! Even if he is deaf, it wouldnt make the slightest bit of difference, he is my wee baby and I love him to bits! He is a wee character!

Thanks again

Good luck with the vets...please let me know how you get on!! Nice to know that you'll love him regardless.... lol

My brother had a deaf cat and she use to come when you banged the floor. She was the same in every way a normal cat. She loved any thing that moved may be her eyes took over. My brother decided she was best a house cat because of the risk of traffic

She had odd eyes which is common along with being deaf and white. Beanie bop was her name.
