How I Wake Up My Deaf Cat

Показать описание

Ēostre has known me her whole life so naturally you won’t see this sort of calm reaction if you wake up a deaf cat who doesn’t fully trust you.

But the general rules I’d follow is:

1. Only gentle taps or scratches around the surface they are sleeping on.

2. Try to look small don’t hover over them

3. Make eye contact and do one slow blink. (To show affection)

4. Gently stroke their back in one direction. You want to mimic the feel of being licked(how mothers clean their kittens).

Such a gentle little deaf princess, she perpetually hesitates between returning love with a love bite or licking, it's so adorable ^^

Good job, deaf cats get startled very easily when we wake them

I've learned to not startle my cat when she's sleeping, too. As she's gotten older she really doesn't appreciate getting startled awake. I don't always know which of her favorite spots she's in, however, so I just start talking to her as I enter rooms looking for her.

Nah, that first dodge was way too smooth.

Thank you for sharing those tips for interacting with deaf cats in the description! I never would have thought of #2 but it makes perfect sense. When audible context is missing and vision makes up a large part of their sensory experience, you're not "quiet and big", you're just "big".
