White Deaf Cats Meow

It might also help you decide if its worth the time to get a cat that doesnt hear very well or if you should wait to have one thats deaf.

White deaf cats meow. It is a myth that every white cat is deaf or that white cats with blue eyes green eyes or one. She was born with blue and hazel eyes. Because theyre unable to hear themselves they cannot regulate the volume of their meows like hearing cats are.

Like Love Meow on Facebook. For example Siamese cats are known to be especially chatty. I give her lots of love and attention plenty of food and water and Ive bought her all kinds of toys.

While Im at home she rarely meows and when she does its early in the morning not at night. But most times its a little louder and off-key then a normal cats meow. Hereditary deafness is a major concern in white cats and even more so if one or both irises are blue in color.

It can occur in white cats with green yellow or blue eyes but seems to occur more frequently with blue eyed ones and in cats with odd eyes or one yellow and one blue the deafness is only on the side with the blue eye. Deaf cats may purr and meow louder and they may also enjoy visiting an area with a lot of echo such as a shower room and shriek as they will enjoy feeling the reverberations of their own voice echoing back at them. White cats can have problems with their hearing this is congenital sensorineural deafness which is degeneration of the inner ear.

Discharge from the ear that may contain pus. In most cases of congenital deafness the deafness is pigment related and most of these cats have an all-white or mostly white haircoat. Loud meows and howls as it is not able to hear itself or other voices.

Probably deaf cats meow because the sound vibrate in the whole body so they notice that doing that has an effect and probably the effect is pleasant. Though not all odd-eyed white cats are deaf White is one of them. If your cat has a congenital defect it just means it was an issue that was present at birth.
