Being deaf does not mean that your kitty shouldn’t have a happy and comfortable life. Some cats are genetically predisposed to deafness, while some are born deaf or become deaf at some point in their life as a result of infection, injury, etc. 

Your deaf cat won’t have any idea that he’s different from other cats. With some help and consideration from his owners, a deaf cat won’t have any trouble living life to the fullest.

Here are some ways you can help your deaf cat:

• Use hand signals to communicate with your pet. A little patience and perseverance will help your kitty learn to respond to hand signals.
• A hearing-impaired cat may still detect the high-frequency sound waves a dog whistle makes.
• If you have a piano in the house, strike the lowest notes to call your pet because deaf cats can still feel the vibration.
• A deaf cat is best kept indoors so he will be safe from potential predators or bully cats outdoors.

Take your pet to your Frisco, TX vet for regular health checks.
