If the loss is gradual, you may not notice immediately because your cat based on their known environment. There are ways to check your cat to see if the hearing loss has occurred and if you are not sure, a trip to the vet can confirm this. Only a few changes in your everyday life to help you both come back on track.
Hearing cats know when you enter a room, you open the box to get the can opener or open the refrigerator and usually come running to you to lend a paw. Deaf cats do not have this luxury, but they are sensitive and can feel the vibrations.
As a suggestion for a sneak deaf cat would never focused on it (accidents happen)
The proposal number two is, never touch a deaf cat not seen you first. Do your best to ensure that your cat you, so do not be scared to see them. One way is to tap into a solid piece of furniture or door frame, when you enter a room.
There is also a good idea to have a collar with a bell, (so you do not sneak in on your pet if they are on the way).
Some owners teach their deaf cat sign language (there is no formal sign), but there are some signs that you now and it can not notice it. My cat (he's hearing), when he got my legs and meows and say I use my hands to roll my finger like a son. If he, until he meets mostly with my legs on his paws wants, he was about four months now, but we are training now. Another sign can be with you if your cat will come and sit next to you on the couch or in bed You might have characterized the furniture, or come to you and then you tap your foot.
I have my fingers tap into bowl of food and swish my finger in the water when I want to draw his attention to the plate. Of course with a deaf cat must ensure that they are in your line of sight and attentive. These are just a few characters, you can see, it is not difficult and you can have some of your own to teach your cat.
While many people say, without a concur deaf cat and if you have a large enclosed garden and train your cat with a walk, you can use it to enjoy the fresh air. Especially if your cat is older, and are used to going out. Never leave unattended, and some people even with large cages that the cat can play with, of course, the choice is yours. We have a neighbor cat is declawed on his front paws and played with a huge labyrinth Kitty and love it. And when it's time to go over them was in March for the door.
If you're a new kitten, but never gone out You might want to check that remains so. Each cat deaf or have a chance to slip out at some point or another, it is also a good idea to have a collar with not only your name, but a phone number and the message "I am a deaf cat," knowing that there is a lot to someone who found your cat has to explain.
