BillyVance 35 #2 August 11, 2015 That is pretty damn cool. John Woo, a deaf and half blind skydiver that I jumped with a lot and helped set several deaf world record events with, had a cat that if it was outside and John was in the basement working on something, the cat would go around to where the basement window was at ground level, and the cat would see John, then it would sway its head and body back and forth until John noticed the movement, then he'd go upstairs to let the cat in."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #3 August 13, 2015 Your link doesn't work for me, but I have heard lf people teaching deaf cats a few basic signs... My work colleague has a deaf kitten and she is doing some signs and she says her cat understands. I'm not so surprised - all of my cats recognise their names and come when I call them. One of my cats uses the toilet when I change his cat litter to a brand he doesn't like... The other day my cat came over to tell me something by tapping my knee repeatedly - he always does this when he wants something I am eating so I figured it was food-related and sure enough, it was meal-time but his food dispenser was empty. One of my cats figured out how to open doors and taught the other cats how to do it. The same one figured out how to open the kitchen cabinet where I used to store their food...

oldwomanc6 60 #6 August 14, 2015 (some) Cats are smarter than people may think. I've had several cats that I've taught to sit on command, one I taught to fetch (and retrieve), and a few who were leash trained. But, the problem is most of them couldn't give a shit. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was initially against having a cat because I also believed they couldn't give a shit.
