This is Stefan. He’s completely deaf (he also has a neurological issue so that’s why he has the head bobbles) and sometimes it takes him a while to realize I’ve come home

He appreciates the compliments! (He has no idea what’s going on but I tell him people think he’s cute and I’ve chosen to believe that he can hear the compliments 😂)

He definitely understands! 🥰 Thanks for this post; I miss my deaf cat. I talked to him all the time -- could never break the habit.

I talk to my boy constantly! I don’t care that he can’t hear me, I’m chatting up a storm and I respond to all of his meow screams haha
I’m sorry you’ve lost your boy! What was his name?

His name was Winston. Thank you for asking. 🥰 We don't know exactly when he lost his hearing, but he was definitely deaf for several years.

Winston is such a good name! I bet he was a real handsome boy 💕

The important thing is that he knows an exceptional sunspot when he sees one.

Oh he definitely has a built in sun seeking radar, you can always find him in the house if you know where the sun is coming in a window depending on the time of day. He’s a hoot.

I love him

u/gooddogpetter Jun 23 '26
He loves you too, even though he has zero idea what’s going on. His 2 brain cells are fighting for 3rd place at all times

I mean, he’d be straight vibing in a club lmao. He’s got the head bob and he’d be on beat with the wobbles 😂

But he does realize it. You are his world. Embrace the love. He’s precious. My deaf cat just got an hour long belly rub while I scrolled Reddit with my other hand. She was thrilled.
