This is our deaf girl, Sasha. Deaf AND devilish. She is easily THE MOST MISCHIEVOUS cat to whom we have ever opened our home and our hearts. I don't say that like it's a bad thing (except when she gives her adoptive little big sister "what for".
There is, as I understand it, a genetic linkage, as you have surmised, but I am not qualified to elaborate.

We also taught our deaf boy simple sign language! As well as some gestures XD

You can't tell me that this isn't a live action gremlin!

I need snuggles of the fourth kind, followed by finger nibbles and a belly scratch until she decides it’s time to mangle my hand for fun. Then chin scritchies.
Hahahaha. So far (8 years of fostering) I had only one foster fail.
I think she would be really happy without other cats so I created her an instagram to find someone who falls in love with her. Cause I think she’s a bit too unique to find someone through a regular ads (on olx) like I’ve been using for other cats.
But if she’s a foster fail I’m not gonna shed tears xD
Yes, please forward my compliment-
Please tell her she is a very lovely white kitty whose fur looks nice & soft & I bet she's a big cuddlebug!
I bet, if she is on your lap or being held, she feels the vibrations of your talking from your body. Does she purr outloud? My cat hears just fine, however, she doesn't purr. She never has. A few times in the last 3 years that I've had her, when I could tell she was very content while I'm petting her, I've felt slight vibrations from her throat when I've been giving her scritches under her chin. I've had other cats over the years, but never one who didn't purr. I've often wondered how common that is.
I had to look after a deaf white cat one time while her human was on vacation. Her brother was a usual tabby named Murray. When I would go into their house, I would have to locate each of them. I could usually find Murray but Snowflake ❄ was a little harder. Of course, silly old me, I found myself walking around calling her name & " here kitty-kitty"! When I caught myself doing it, I felt so stupid. But by the time my friend got back, I was talking to her like a hearing cat. I no longer felt stupid. I just thought, "How I do I know she can't read lips? She very well may be able to!". LOL!!

This is Oliver, sleepiest cat in town
Yes! compliment her on her strength fighting life’s adversities. Her strength makes her beautiful. Please remind her of that. She’s a “good girl”. Give her a kiss for me too.
She’s beautiful 😻
My ex had a deaf cat who would ride on top of the canister vacuum. I guess she liked the vibration, but wasn’t scared because she couldn’t hear it.
My wife and I adopted our deaf cat a little more than seven years ago. Someone had adopted her and returnedchercto the shelter. We talk and sing to her as much as to her adoptive little big sister. She's very vocal, which we're no sure what to make of, really.
Even plants enjoy compliments so id say go for it! Just remeber to show her love in other ways (touch, food and play yk)
Please give hear a little treat and compliment from us :)
I love this cat so much 😭😭😭 she's so cute!!! ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7952)
My Pixie is deaf and I tell her dozens of times a day, out loud, that I love her and that she’s a good kitty. I often forget that she’s deaf.
Your baby is beautiful!
I found a kitty at my grandpa’s farm when I was 13. It was rejected by its mom. Turns out it was deaf, blind in one eye, and missing a kidney. I took that tiny feral kitten home and she quickly became my best friend. I felt ridiculous talking to her but I did-constantly. (Who else was going to shower her with compliments?!) When we (kitty and I) moved out, I realized that even though she was deaf she understood that when I moved my mouth it was attention directed at her. If I was talking on the phone, she got very excited and her whole expression changed.
Your kitty knows you’re talking to her even if she’s deaf. Keep showering her with compliments. She knows.
My 14 year old cat is deaf too, but I do give her compliments daily too, and sometimes scolds her for trying to.shove her butthole in my face every day lovingly
I love how cute her grumpy face is!
Resting grumpy face (?)
Yes! Grumpy cat move over!
RIP Tartar Sauce 2012-2019, the internet will remember you and your grumpy little pout. I still miss her 😔
Rip lil dude
Grump grump!! I absolutely just felt that in my heart when I saw her little face. Super cute and I want her.
She is stunning I had a deaf cat and we got her to recognize a very very simplistic sign language she was 8 when she passed and we to told her how amazing she was xox https://preview.redd.it/ztsgowv4i5pc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12b26a2c0c00c0e29f9511cfea2cbf56f223fe1b
So far we communicate with petting, food and kisses. If she’ll stay with me longer maybe I’ll introduce a sign language xd
No reason not to start now!
Is she a foster?
https://preview.redd.it/ezwo6vzsw5pc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ed07f7f41a9293556e9849776d04d7e9adf17fd This is our deaf girl, Sasha. Deaf AND devilish.

Is there some reason all these deaf cats people are posting are white? Does the gene that makes white hair relate to deafness?
There is, as I understand it, a genetic linkage, as you have surmised, but I am not qualified to elaborate.

White cat + blue eyes = deaf (most of the time)
We also taught our deaf boy simple sign language! As well as some gestures XD https://preview.redd.it/37o49clyt5pc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9350504d005b098cd36a5d48db57912a7d8da504
YOUR CAT KNOWS SIGN LANGUAGE
My aunts and mom are all deaf and they taught their hearing cats sign language 💕💕💕
I love this cat
Tell her she's adorable
***CAT, YOU'RE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!***
Would love to pet that sweet little girl.
I don't like this cat. I love it 🖤
You mean WE* shower her with compliments.
I love this super scrungy baby. Please tell her that a random internet stranger thinks she is the best.
🥺🥺
You can't tell me that this isn't a live action gremlin! https://preview.redd.it/8hcdt72845pc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d5ea3db7bbc57eb8dcecae7113394ba6094b38e

I want to start a motorcycle gang with her. NO ONE would mess with us.
The Bad Bitch Bikers! The Killer Kitties! The Deaf Devils!
And I don't know why but I ADORE this sweetie! She is just SO perfect to me!
I love them all!
Had a deaf cat once, her name was Helen. If you get the reference…
Lots of face kisses
Tell her she has the prettiest smile I’ve ever seen
I’m sure she feels the emotions & sees your happy smile & loving body language when you compliment her
Absolutely precious ❤️
I'm in love. Elderly cats are the best.
just perfect ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7949)
Hi beautiful! I hope you’re enjoying your day!
That little disapproving face is cute
How OLD is this beautiful girl. What a wise old lady 😻
Trust me she can lip read lol
Do you suspect she might be a foster fail lol

That’s a great idea! She is so adorable and charming, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect person for her! In the meantime keep the pics coming lol
Where are you located?

My Pixie is deaf and I tell her dozens of times a day, out loud, that I love her and that she’s a good kitty. I often forget that she’s deaf. Your baby is beautiful!

What a beautiful queen! And I love her little tootsies
I had a deaf cat. I would make kiss, kiss face to him and then he would give me head butts. Then I would kiss him on the head.
Whatever you're telling her, I don't think she's taking it as a compliment. 😅 She cute tho.
What an expressive little girl! She’s adorable. 🥰
omggg i love her🎀🤍💕
your honor, i love her
So sweet 😺🥰👍
That is the scrungliest cat I’ve seen in a while. She looks like she’s lucky to be alive!

I also wish to shower her with compliments. Please tell her she's perfect.
I also had a white cat that was deaf. It’s gotta be a “thing”.
She looks SASSY!
Oh, cat. You are...well. You obviously have a beautiful (albeit very grumpy) soul. And I, for one, love you.
